Being a drug addict can be so fast and quick, but over coming being a drug addict, takes ages and strong determination to.
I know of a person, a little boy of 19 years who followed friends and lives a very hard life, taking hard drugs and doing all what that shouldn't be done. He lived his life like nothing is happening.
They boy was sunk in drugs, all manner of drugs. However, one day he got serious seek and needed medical attention. The result came out that his heart was damaged and he needed to stop smoking 🚬 and taking hard drugs.
I think that was the biggest challenge in his life. It was so difficult for him to stay a day without taking drugs.
To me, I think; it is better you don't even start up what you won't be able to end easily. Drug addiction needs extra energy and efforts to stop, and it's not one day process. You need God overall.
