Self Esteem and Addiction

Self-esteem is something I think we all would like, but when you have an addiction to some powerful the first things you lose is your self esteem.

None of us like to think we are addicted to something and insists that we are in total control, just doing what because what we like, and that he would be giving up so easy – I just do not want to give it up right?!

There are many different types of addictions such as alcohol, drugs, overeating, sex, perfectionism – the list could go on and on and we all think addiction is worse than the other – so which is not really the case – every addiction affects self-esteem and well-being of the person concerned and probably their loved ones and family.

Once the person is faced the fact that they have a problem, and that is certainly the first stage, then they could seek some kind of professional help – now I'm not calling these professionals because I really think they do a great job but unless it reaches the interior of the person I really think it's just a matter of time before the person who allegedly was cured begins again with his addiction – which is why you see people who have been stopped smoking for many years and have not touched a drop of alcohol suddenly start again.

How I can know this? – Well I think I'm more or less an expert in the field of addiction to alcohol and cigarettes – that was such an important part of my life for so many years and when he finally admitted he had an enormous problem that had all the help I could find, some of them even paid me. I did well during almost a year, but it was a difficult child and soon began again this time with a vengeance that caused my business and marriage breakdown and I was living in a house Mobile on my own with the drink to be my only companion.

What happened to me on that December day in 2002 was nothing less than a modern miracle – Overnight, and I mean the night I stopped drinking and smoking, have never touched one of these, but more importantly have never had the desire that in the slightest. A few months later I met my wife and children and could not be happier with my life if I was going to win the lottery – I would not trade this inner peace and perfect happiness I have for anything in this world.

I had to write about what happened on that day which is what I've done with the hope that the same version of powerful addiction can become a reality for others who are living their lives addicted to something in the same way it was – the difference it makes is incredible and I just We hope and pray that everyone can find liberation and inner peace and satisfaction after I have now, really.

A recent testimony, exercises of which is included below, showing just what I want this book to reach out and touch people who are looking for what I found.

I lavished his book. My life was ruined, my wife had divorced me and tonight was in such a state of despair that I had called my mother to tell her that suicide was my only option – after reading your book I have a peace about me that I have not had since I was 19 and now I have 56. Thank you for allowing God to speak through you to me – I feel a complete relief of all pain and misery I have met over the past 37 years and I thank you for saving my life – actually God saved my life but I threw the life preserver – may God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry.
