I was addicted to pain killers for 31 years , I couldn't get off of them I was a Christian, I went through a lot of guilt over this, I went to like 3 different rehabs, one down in Florida , I live in Baltimore. The reason I liked the pain pills is because they gave me a feeling of well being, something that I had never felt as a child or teenager. They made me feel normal. I knew it couldn't go on though they were unhealthy for me. Well I prayed about it and God showed me that he was my healer and believe it or not I stopped painkillers alone at home with no with drawl. God taught me that I couldn't depend upon my own self will, or will power, but to simply believe in what Christ did for me on the cross and I started concentrating on Christ and trusting in his shed blood and he delivered me from religion and showed me it's all about having a relationship with him. Praise GOD.
