rayww,
You wrote, [...gospel standards actually set one free...].
You have brought up the connection between faith and addiction. One of the reasons that I have been posting here is to tell of my experiance so that, perhaps, others could be freed from an addiction. For I was addicted, accidently, by taking the prescribed drug, clonazapam,AKA Klonopin. I was given the drug by a neurologist without any discussion that when the drug was stopped, that there would be a reaction that some people call [withdrawal].
In my case, I called upon my faith in order to enable me to overcome the effects to me that occurred after I stopped the drug. There are posters here that describe the effects to them when they stop the drug, and I experianced them also. I looked at the situation as a {toxicity} to my systems, and to me, I took the course of stopping completly, not tapering, and called upon the promises that my faith has told me in my experiance from years before I was prescribed the drug. I also was given desiprimine, an AD, by a Dr. that,IMO, precipitated an adverse reaction and I also at that time thought that there was a toxicity created by the drug and I called upon my faith to overcome the effects of the adverse reaction. I still have the effects from the adverse reaction, but my faith has given me power to overcome the adverse effects, even though the effects still continue and cause limitations to me. But I can actually rejoice, and that has been one of the reasons why I have been posting my experiance here, for if I was able to overcome, so could there be the potential for others to overcome.
