Many of us are addicted to so many things and unfortunately, we do not recognize it or admit that we are addicts. It could something as small as not being able to put down your phone or something as big as using drugs. We need to be able to set boundaries in our lives to be free from any kind of addiction.

God wants us to have restrictions in our lives on earth so that we can truly enjoy freedom in eternity. There are 3 types of addicts:

1. Those who are unaware of their addictions
2. Those who are aware of their addictions but are comfortable with it
3. Those who are trying to get rid of their addictions but don’t know how

1. Know the addiction
2. Set a realistic date to end the addiction
3. Seek professional help
4. Identify your triggers
5. Get your environment ready
6. Replace your addictions with a healthy habit
7. Don’t let relapse be the end of your journey
