The Four Man-Killers: Part 4 Overcoming Addiction (EP. 202)

This week we finish our series on "The Four Man-Killers" that will knock men off their adventure to know God and their purpose. Week 3 we talked about Overcoming Lust, this week we talk about Overcoming Addiction. Webster describes addiction as a compulsive, exhibiting a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity. Addiction can cause anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea upon withdrawal or abstinence. Men, addiction WILL rob of us of the most important things in life.We can even be addicted to good things – career, fitness, hunting, hobbies. Being devoted or dedicated other than God is idolatry. God truly wants what's best for you. What are you spending your time doing? What are you putting before your relationship with God? We are ALL susceptible to addiction and we are all susceptible to things that can draw our attention away from what's most important.

How do we overcome or stay clear of addiction:

#1 – Take inventory of your time and desires
#2 – Put God first
#3 – Run towards what's good
#4 – Establish positive habits in your life
#5 – Seek out community and accountability (if you have serious addiction issues, seek professional help)
