Alcoholism, drug abuse, pornography, gambling---these are obvious forms of addiction, but it doesn't stop there!Where do your weaknessses come from? How do you feed them?Why do you ignore them?When will God just remove them?If you are attempting to undersatand your own addiction or someone else's, then realize first that this is not a black and white issue.Everybody has a weakness and at the root of most (if not all) of these is selfishness.For those of us addicted to alcohol and/or drugs, forgetting our worst behaviors is way too convenient. It's called denial.For an addict, realizing the ugly truth that is our life can either be the first step toward recovery or the last leap into a dark depression.Choosing to fill our emptiness with anythinng besides a real relationship with God is our most common and damning decision.I've even been mad at God for not taking my addiction from me faster. Imagine that--- an impatient addict!Learning to trust, to lean on God's Love, receiving His Love through others and then returning that same love really is the true meaning of life. So simple, so perfect, so beautiful, so real...so why do we struggle so hard to understand it?Refuse to trade anymore of tomorrow's dreams for today's self-indulgence.

About the Author

My name is Jeff and I am an alcoholic...and I am also a Christian. How can this possibly be? That is the question that has driven me crazy for many years. While I was raised in a Christian home and knew right from wrong, like most teenagers I decided to experiment with alcohol and from that point my life proceeded down roads I never meant to travel and over time my weakness led to self-destruction. My choice of career also added to an already self absorbed attitude. While working as a radio disc jockey I quickly found myself knee deep in a culture that fed both my ego and my weakness for alcohol. Being somewhat of a local celebrity allowed me many privileges and I have to be honest, many of my VIP experience's were pretty cool! If I am to be even more honest, then I also have to admit how I allowed myself to get so caught up in my (make-believe life), that reality no longer seemed to exist! Thankfully, the same Jesus that knocked on my door when I was a young teen never gave up on me. I am sober and my relationship with God and others is more like what He intended for it to be. This short book about my struggles with addiction is an honest look at the sometimes ugly and sometimes beautiful world that is my life. I pray God has something within theses pages for all who read them and I thank you in advance for sharing this book with anyone you feel may benefit from it. May God bless you and keep you forever in His Arms! Love in Christ,Jeffrey C. Tanner
