Quitting Cold Turkey

Once a person has truly quit using a substance, there is a season of withdrawal where the body and mind react negatively to not having their drug anymore. For a Christian, this is the most natural time to seek God’s help. For most of us, it’s a time we’d welcome losing the whole “free will” aspect of our lives and let God run the show entirely. We know that would work! However, God doesn’t work that way for most of us. He wants to walk alongside us as we learn to live our lives without the drug.
