Addiction is a neurological brain disorder that affects people physically, mentally, and behaviorally. It is characterized by drug dependence, uncontrollable behaviors, and addiction dominance.

Most people who suffer from addiction find it hard to stop, and those who stop often have reasons to go back to it.

A saying goes that “God is Love and Love is God”. This saying is true because God does not discriminate with how he shows his love to people. Even chronic addicts that have been involved in some serious bad behaviors have their place in the heart of God. All God wants is for men to come to him even at times when they are helpless.

One of the most common reasons that people fall into addiction is the lack of love, care, and attention from friends, colleagues, family, and society.

This often keeps people in the cage of their emotions, thereby making them tend toward things that will satisfy their temporal carving for love. Alcohol is one major depressant that temporarily takes away these thoughts and makes the person feel light of their burden.

In no time, alcohol would take over the entire life of the person leaving them with pain and gruesome effects of their addiction. If you are experiencing such, you should know today that God loves you and is ready to help you snap out of your problem.
