May you find the courage to set aside your addictions.
Let me ask you-- could anyone 'minister' to you apart from having experienced similar struggles? Could the choir boy, from the rich-side of town pull over in the new Camaro his Daddy bought him for graduation, and tell you how you should live, and give-up your miserable life, having never had a difficult day in his 18 years of privilege?

Good news to hear. As for myself, I’m starting my recovery from nicotine today. The head pain isn’t too unbearable, and I’ve been able to detox from it like four or five times already because it’s something I can sort of tolerate better than others. But the anger, well, it’s extreme to say the least. Little tiny things that normally don’t get me agitated or mad are making me agitated and mad.
Thank you for sharing what you are going through too. The human body doesn't like change, there are things that just it desires and wants but over time it gets easier if you do not use it. No judgment here, an encouragement would be to make yourself read the bible, while the flesh hates it the spirit enjoys it, and the flesh is weak but the spirit is willing, may God give you the strength to do what you desire to do, which could be beneficial to your over all health and give him the glory.
Through experience porn and using meth and marijuana really hindered me personally in life, so did playing a lot of games growing up. I still have struggles just as much as you do, with whatever you may struggle with. The point is to share those struggles, and let other people decide for themselves... its interesting how people watch you struggle through things, and while you are doing it you telling them how much you really hate what you are doing, and they do not even see the signs for themselves to perhaps improve their life from choosing to abstain and look to Yahava instead of looking to the worldly to solve your issues. There will only be you and your issues left when the high comes down. When it comes to the rich, ... Jesus said it is hard for them to enter into the Kingdom because they basically see no need for the Lord at all, until they really reliaze it. I use to hate God, and mock Jesus, and shake my hand at them and hate them... just because of my own choices and doing so never helped me, but God has kept people who have struggled like myself alive for some reason or another. Perhaps to get right with him before this life is gone away and there is no more building up spiritual treasures in heaven.
People can do what they want as far as I am concerned but those who looking and seeking for help should be helped, and pointed to go towards God.
