Addict Person Is A Sinner Or A Patient???

hi.it is my first post, I am from Pakistan where nobody has time & knowledge to understand the complications of a addict or addiction.We people just hate the addicts and it is a big question for me that an addict is a bloody sinner or just a patient????
Being a DXM & Marijuana abuser I am facing many problems from previous eight years. I am 31years graduate male, serving a cargo company as manager operations. I married in 1997 that was just a love marriage and now I have two lovely kids of eight and five years.
I am doing job, running a side busines,doing all efforts to keep my family satisfied. I am also one and only son of my old parents so you can say i am only one bread winner for my six members family,....
I fall in addiction for some eight years ago, initialy it was just a matter of fun but soon it caught me badly and captured my all freedoms. Now my condition is just like a serious patient who cannot do anything without taking drugs...
my weigh has been increased rapidly, i am unable to do any hard work, sexual desires got down, my face remains wet with extreme flow of sweat from my forehead, I tried for several times to stay off drugs but always failed ....
No body can understand my feelings even my wife and best friend are unable.... I need some body who could share my feelings and could encourage me keep trying for better life...
I will be back if some body reply meee
take care and byeee for now
hi there rebel-

i suggest reading past posts, there is much to learn there.

in my opinion there is nothing sinful about addiction but your culture is very different ...

come back, good luck... jojo jones
You are not a sinner or a patient. You are a human being who deserves dignity and respect.
Drugs are great at first but we it is when we go too far and take too many too often that we get hurt and they start destroying our lives - as you know.

It must be very difficult for you living where there is no support for your problems. At least you can come and talk here and look at all the other posts. It will help you. Then hopefully you will find the courage within to stop - you can do it. Ask your God for help and guidance.

Good luck.
get off the pot, fight it! don't accept being an addict. you may not be able to quit today, but wait for the chance, when it comes grab it and go. get into new actitvities and new people.
