Drug Addiction Causes - Children Beware !

The crime rates in this Country are way too high. People have become so selfish they are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. However, when the problem that you are facing is drug related, this can become very dangerous because when you are addictive to drugs, you will sometime do anything to get what you are craving for. One of the reason for this is because drug addiction causes one generation to pass it on to the next.

Genetic/Inherited

This genetic/Inherited causes are sometime known as generation curses. These problem are so strong that you are often time struggling with addictions that your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents struggled with. The odds are stacked against you. If your parents smoked or abused drugs, there is a greater chance that you will too. This is why you should know your family history and be ready to fight for your freedom if you need to.

Personality

I have often wondered how can children become addictive at an early age? The answer to this question can have many answers to it. However, because so many children start using drugs for different reasons, I have learned that many of them start because of their personality. Some children are more curious than others which can lead to experimentation. Some drugs are more powerful than others which can lead to an addiction very easily.

Peer Pressure

Drug addiction causes people to sell drugs to our children. Our children are already dealing with pressure from their peers. Whether its a certain type of look or taking your first drag from a cigarette, sooner or later our children too often fall because of the everyday pressure that is around them constantly.

The good news is that our youngsters are becoming more educated about drugs and alcohol. They are no longer believing the lie that drug addiction causes you to be accepted or qualified to join a particular gang. Education is key to helping you overcome these addictive behaviors. You can take back control of your life when you know how to crush these addictions for good.

Christian Addiction Recovery - Renewing Your Mind

Every year people attempt to break their addictions using different methods. The challenge to overcome any addiction is a process, but many people are focusing on the wrong thing. In this article we will discuss the first thing you must do in order to crush your addictions for good.

The first thing you must do is renew your mind. Just because you are captured by an addiction, doesn't mean that you are that person. To put it another way, because you may have been captured by alcohol doesn't necessarily mean that you are an alcoholic.

I realize that the first thing that alcohol anonymous tells you to do is to state your name and announce that you are this or that. You are not who you say that you are. This is not a play on words! I mean, especially if you are a child of God, you are who God says that you are, who happens to be captured by whatever it may be.

This is not to release you of your responsibilities, but to claim who you really are. Too many people accept that they are what they do. Of course if you are involved in something for years, then you and whatever it may be can become so entangled that you can not tell one from the other. But an addiction can be much different than that.

Most people with an addiction do not want to remain that way. But the addiction has such a hold on them, they can't seem to escape it. Like quicksand, the more you kick and twist, the greater your chance of defeat. Because you are captured doesn't mean that this is who you are.

TIP - When you change your mind set of who you are, then you can begin to plan your way of escape. You are not necessarily what you do.

Your mind set is the answer to your break through. When you say that you are who God says you are, then you are free to claim your freedom from that addiction. Until you agree with who God says that you are, and denounce your addiction behavior, you will never break free.

People proclaim everyday that they are an alcoholic, drug addict, gambler, glutton, or etc. and wonder why they remain captured. You are contradicting who God has already declared you to be. Agree with God and change your situation today.

HINT - Do you realize that you can be a prisoner or a slave in your mind even though you have been set free?

This mind set is your first step to freedom. When you begin to renew your mind, you can change any habits, addictions, strongholds,etc. Remember, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” You can change beginning today.

In summary this process may seem simple, but you will soon realize that you have trained yourself to think in a lot of negative ways. So many people try twelve steps to this, or ten steps to that, but if you do not start with the renewing of your mind, then you will remain the same. This is the time to make that change.
