Getting Sound Advice

Greetings all from Christian Help For Addiction Online…Today we would like to discuss where does one turn for help and/or advice in times of need….the most common response we hear is …”my friends of course”…but unfortunately some of those so called “friends” can come with baggage attached… When asked how many friends one has….the common response is…”oh I have lots of friends”…but I’ll tell you what, when the... 

Addictive Personality?

Hi everyone…we hope you are well.   Can somebody be predisposed to addictions?  Apparently more and more research is indicating that some people have inherited traits that actually make them more susceptible.  Some of the more prevalent addictions are alcohol, pain killers, gambling and the ever increasing pornography.  Whether it’s smoking cigarettes, or engaging in some form of obsessive behavior, the key is that “compulsion” to engage in that behavior over and over... 

Pain Killers….Don’t Be Fooled!

Hi everyone….we pray you are well…I would just like to mention pain killers today…and how careful you have to be while using them.  True, they serve a wonderful purpose for alleviating pain related to all sorts of ailments…but truth be told, they can be quite addicting.  Pain killers such as Oxycontin and Vicodin seem to be the main culprits. In-fact, we had a member in the group discuss how he was “hooked” on Vicodin’s, and taking over 50 (yes 50) a day. ... 

Negative Thinking

Hi…we hope you are well…..This week we would like to discus negative thoughts and how they can have a “negative impact” on your well-being.  I was reading last week how some psychologists believe that there is a link between depression and the way we think.  It seems that there are many “depressed’ people who are overwhelmed with negative thoughts of despair and helplessness.  Apparently, there is research that indicates if we change the way we think into a... 

Acquiring Faith

Hi everyone…we hope you are well……Many people ask us …how do we get faith?…That’s a difficult question to answer, as everybody’s  level of faith seems to vary.  I’ve met some people who have a rock solid faith that can’t be moved…while others seem to struggle with having any faith at all….. The biblical definition from Hebrews tells us that…Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the eveidence of things not seen….which... 

I’m Drowning In Debt…..

Hi everyone…I hope you are well…..Wow, how many times do I hear from people that they are “buried in debt up to their eyeballs”…as the saying goes….I mean those credit cards and the fee’s and penalties they hit you with can almost make it impossible to dig yourself out of the hole! Add to that mounting bills and daily expenses (car gas), and it could literally drive someone to “destructive behaviors”….yes I know…but it was better... 

Meditation…Can It Really Help?

There is so much talk out there nowadays about stress, and how it takes its toll on our bodies in numerous ways. Stress and life events that cause us to be anxious and worried are inevitable…..even Christ said that…we will have struggles (tribulations)…in this life…there’s just no way around them….but how can we minimize some of the horrific side-effects of stress? There is much research available that discusses “meditation” as a form of stress relief.  ... 

Who Is Your Support?

Greetings everyone from Christian Help For Addiction Online…We hear so many people talk of “support systems” and how it is so important to have great support. Having a great support system is truly important, especially when that system is in line with God. I always ask people how many friends do they have, and sometimes I get…”Oh I have a lot of friends, maybe a dozen or so”  Well i’ll tell you what, when your money and health runs out, and your really... 

Watch Your Thoughts

Hello, from Christian Help For Addiction Online Our thoughts can be quite powerful….and sometimes if we continually dwell on the “negative” aspects of life…we tend to get depressed, anxious, and frustrated.  Unfortunately, “stinking thinking” can sometimes become a habit…as our first waking thought could be..”ok..another day…I wonder what’s going to happen today?”… Changing habits can be troublesome for many….but if we... 

Life’s About Choices

Hi everyone…from Christian Help For Addiction online….I will never forget what one of our group members said one evening as he attempted to define life….”life is a series of events we experience…stemming from the choices we make”…how true that is…when we look back at some of the poor choices we made and the subsequent consequences…one wishes…”wow, if I could only do that over again”… But not to worry…..God didn’t...
