Suman.1407, your personal responses themselves are appreciated, since many people here post but don't reply to any of the responses. You've realized quickly and correctly though that anyone's welcome here despite their character flaws or current struggles in life.
The point I was making before was that no one can give you worthwhile advice or any useful, targeted encouragement if they don't know what the addiction issue is. You needn't reveal it of course, but understand that from our view it could be drugs, alcohol, food, smoking, ***, gambling, exercise, or a host of other issues. Thus, the conversation will probably fade until you want to reveal more - which you can do later in a separate post when and if you wish.
Meanwhile, know that people change their lives AFTER accepting Jesus into their heart. It's a result, not a precursor. There are many on-line video testimonies demonstrating this, but finding the encouraging ones depends on finding the applicable ones. If you're interested, you might do a YouTube search for 700 Club addiction testimonies. I haven't screened these myself to sort out the best ones, but I suspect some are pretty powerful messages. Personally, I think that hearing from others who have overcome problems we're facing is worthwhile encouragement and mentoring support.
