When we hear about addiction it felt like someone to pull back the certain talk of reality. Many of us try to ignore this to speak on it is not pretending to understand everything but trying to acknowledge how dark and destructive this addition matter could be.
The part that really helped me the most was when he described dangerous drugs turning people into zombies and motionless, it changed a few minutes. It's frightening because this shows how the world has moved into chasing pleasure even when it leads to distortion.
What touched me the most was that humility That Brother Eli admits he never struggled with and this. On the way many people do today in our society that he shares my experience. The image of him throwing the cold zipper lighter of the cripple bridge was a very powerful indicator.
This shows how real conviction can push us or can push a person to cut off something and focus. This message is very clear, addiction begins with pleasure, the flesh loss, anything that gives us temporary and that's why we care to resist it because it's difficult.
Brother Eli reflects on moses choosing suffering over that simple pleasure that it is temporary and this reminds us of the wisdom to have in christ choosing what is right even when it feels even when the wrong feels good.
It takes the help of the holy spirit to overcome any form of addiction in life.
