How i was imprisoned by my addiction

People use drugs for various reasons and mine was simple.curiosity! When i was in my ALevel,had friends who i could describe as cool.
I wantedto fit in and be like them.they were from wealthy familiesyet mine was humble.

At one point,i bought weed for my friends when they were going to play rugby.it was meant to give them extra energy.it looked like dry leaves stuffed into cigarette like pack.

By the grace of God i finished high school without smoking weed.i had vowednever ti smoke weedbut when i reached campus,things changed.out of curiosity and the new found freedom,one day i reasoned and bought one since it was my first time,i looked for adarkspot at my hostel and with fear running through every cellof mybeing i took my first puff shortly my eyelids begun to shut,heartbeat increased.
the addiction.
Overtime,i begun to like the feeling i got after smoking so i became frequent smoker.it also gave me confidenceto speak to boys.smoking as agroup was fun,with people telling stories which made us laugh endlessly.
As time went by i was getting addicted and often played down that thoughtbecause i felt i would stop smokingat my will.this is alie that most people believe.
I was now aprisoner of myown body.i knew what was right and wrong.i hated actually is what i did i was in dispair
In all this i considered God as my solution totje struggle that i had.
This is how i got delivered. I met some prayerful group though i didnt understand at that time God was the solution to my problem
Prayer is avery important weapon for deliverance.i nolonger smoke.
