It sounds like a stupid assertion, but I’m not an expert on alcholism even though I may drink much.
Alcohol abuse can damage the brain and people can take a while to get back to normal, but usually by the time people come out of rehab they are sick of the routine and discipline and are looking forward to making their own decisions.
As for the hypnotic bit – alcohol has a sedative effect, but for reasons I can’t remember it does something to your body whereby you may become wide awake a few hours later and find it difficult to go back to sleep.
Background: reading books and talking to people.
Severe addicts and alcoholics become arrested in the developmental stage they were at when they began using. They learned to deal with their problems by masking the negative emotions with the chemical high. While other people got over the nervousness of talking to the opposite *** or taking crap from a boss, addicts just went for their cure all. There’s going to be some childishness to deal with for sure. But addicts aren’t any more sinful than anyone else. They just have a harder time dealing with their feelings. That’s why they turned to chemicals in the first place.
All it takes to be set free is the power of Jesus Christ. He can deliver anyone from the slavery of substance abuse. He makes a home in your heart and gives you strength to overcome. I know from experience.
Yours in Christ, Nick
