Addiction
Addiction is a persistent dependence on a harmful behavior or substance. It can disrupt the ability to listen to the Spirit and limit agency. Many who struggle with an addiction suffer from shame or a sense that they are unlovable. They may feel discouragement and despair that recovery is not possible. Yet with God, nothing is impossible (see Luke 1:37).
All can be healed and protected through Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Instruction from prophets, apostles, scriptures, manuals, media, and more can be found at ChurchofJesusChrist.org Gospel Topic- Addiction.
