Come on in, the water's fine.

I just noticed this forum, but there are no threads yet. I guess I can be first!

Addiction is not for non-Christians only. I know plenty of Christians who struggle with addiction. And I don't mean those who converted after getting straight either.

I know that CF can be a rough and tumble atmosphere. Some of the forums can generate quite a bit of strife. I can understand how some people might be reluctant to post here, and then have their problems referenced in another forum.

I have some knowledge and experience in this field, so PM me anytime.

The standard answer given to people who are seeking recovery is to join AA/NA or go for inpatient treatment. These are not the only solutions available, and can be detrimental for some people. I have some other resources and have done a lot of searching. I hope I can be of help.

I'm glad to see this new forum. How about you?

Great point...Christians have "ALL" the problems non-Christians have. The only bragging rights we've aquired are in CHRIST's salvation!

You are right! I was still addicted to drugs after I became a christian. It wasn't till a short time ago that I finally decided to stop doing drugs.

Another thing is, that a lot of Christians are addicted to pornography. The thing that makes a Christian person from being addicted to pornography, or any other thing, is that Christians know it's wrong. Secular people don't always know that what they're doing is a sin.

I'm addicted to Christian Forums...that's the truth. I spend my all my time at the computer while i'm writing my thesis, but unfortunately at the moment its kinda taking second place to CF!
