Recognize It’s WrongAddicts find a way to justify the guilt away.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

Adam blamed Eve and she blamed the serpent. Instead, you must begin to take responsibility for your actions.

Willpower Isn’t the AnswerAt a weak moment, your "will" may fail you. By admitting that you are in need of God's help, you open access to His supernatural intervention in your life. You must yield your will to God's will. That's when He can begin a new work in your life.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
