Does it end?

I have a general question and maybe someone here can help with an answer and my question is - Does it ever end? is a person ever cured (or the equivalent) and become drug free?'

I'd like to think there is an alternative end to that of self destruction.

Yes

my opinion here only

i believe the proper question is, is it possible/ can one become drug free(or whatever the vice/ addiction/ issue is)....

and THAT answer is

YES

anything is possible with the right help, consistency, the lord, willpower, and most importantly, one's own desire and WANT to become free

I am living proof of this with so much in my life

but you have to want it

just my own thoughts

big hugs to you

I have received several answers to my question but my thoughts had already leaned towards your suggested answer. I am a person who likes to prepare himself to achieve whatever target I wish to reach and Therefore I will take my time to formulate my own plan to reach my personal ambition. Sincere thanks also I think your user name tells me a little more about where you are coming from. Thanks.

youre welcomei truly pray and hope you find what you are seeking

theres so much freedom available to you(and everyone), and i have discovered true freedom is only found in our Creator.

I would never have been able to become free of all of my addictions and issues and you name it, without experiencing the lords forgiveness, grace, mercy and power.

i hope you find your path🙏🏻

According to David Barlow, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at Boston University tens of millions of people have recovered from anxiety disorder using a non-pharmaceutical method.

The answer to your question 'Does it end?' is 'Yes - when you stop asking does it end?'

Lewis, 'when you stop asking when does it end' is an expression of recovery by acceptance: the method devised by Doctor Claire Weekes and explained beautifully in her classic book 'Self help for your nerves' (published in the United States as 'Hope and help for your nerves') available new or used from Amazon and Ebay.

Good morning lewis1,This is for myself and no it will never end I learn to deal with it along with medication. Reason be is after I had my son at the age of 20 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and by the time I was 23 I had to have a full Hysterectomy and that cause a chemical imbalance along with the no chance of having any more children. It's not easy but the key for me is to keep moving forward. Keep your chin up.

Hi Trinity and thanks for your response. I have, as one might expect, received quite a few answers to my question. A bold move as I do not know any others (as friend) yet. Most were not real answers but a go at everything else in the world.But a few like your answer restored hope in my way of thinking and my idea of a plan to fight back against my issues. Not so much fight but an understanding of the issues so I can formulate a practical approach.

Last but not least I can only try to understand your pain and hope you continue to be well or in good progress. If I can listen and help at any time just ask. Thanks

Thank you Lewis1I always say the more I know about my condition the more research I do, the more I can understand and it helps me allot. Keep your chin up and never give up
