Addictive Habits: Changing for Good (31-Day Devotionals for Life)

It begins with a choice . . . but soon that choice overpowers and traps you. You both love and hate your habit, as it begins to define you. Modern approaches to addiction treat it as either a choice we make or a disease we cannot control. But God’s Word makes clear that addiction is an inseparable blend of both, teaching us we are sinners both by birth and by choice. The good news? God has a solution for sin and addiction! Here a pastor and counselor with years of ministering to addiction provides day-by-day reminders of truth that motivate you to fight, then helps you to apply that truth to your life. Learn more about your responsibility for addiction, your relationship with the God who can steer you out of it, and techniques for first restructuring your life and then remaining faithful long-term. These daily devotionals will show you that change is possible―because God is in the business of transforming helpless, ensnared sinners.
