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
Dear Friend

First I wish god be with you. Are there nobody to help you from your family?

First of all you wrote hear your problem, but did you want help from anybody from your family? I know your family may see you as a sinner but science says that's a behavioral disease that you cannot cope without professional help.

You must find somedy to help you like your brother, sister, parent, cousin, uncle. You must declare clearly your problem to them, don be afraid they will be shocked or they are already knowing this or they will blame you as a sinner, doesn't matter you can always apologize from the God and pray for help... I can recommend the philosophy of Mevlana (a Turkish Philosophist) ''COME, COME, WHOEVER YOU ARE, DOESN'T MATTER'' believes that all kind of people can change through to good.

My friend as soon as possible you must find a professional help; a psychiatrist or psycholgist both for you and for your family. Please break this vicious cycle from somewhere. Stand on your feet at least for while and realize the problem.
FIRST THINK YOUR HEALTH NOTHİNG ELSE, BECAUSE WITHOUT IT THERE IS NOT MUCH MEANING OF ANY OTHER THINGS... Don't deny these.

I will pray for you.
Come, come whatever you are,
it doesn't matter Whether you are an
infidel, an idolater or a fire-worshiper,
Come, our convent is not a place of despair. Come, even if you violated your swear A hundred times,
come again.
Hz. Mevlana
Hi Rebel and all who read this.
I have never had any experience with drug or alcohol addiction thankfully.At present i am studying "Addiction". Addiction is a chronic, but treatable, brain disorder. People who are addicted cannot control their need for alcohol or other drugs, even in the face of negative health, social or legal consequences. This lack of control is the result of alcohol- or drug-induced changes in the brain. Those changes, in turn, cause behavior changes.You are not bad people.

I have just discovered this board and i have been inspired by the courage and strength you people have.Sadly drug use starts in the "fun-times of youth" and seems so harmless at the time.All i can say is a big "congratulations,well done to those who are doing so well....for those who are struggling to get clean "you will and can do it"..for those who havent started using or trying "please stay away,dont do it.I am sure there are many people here who will agree with me.

I have found this prayer,some of you may know it and maybe some will find some comfort and strength from it.Just remember no matter what you do,God still loves and cherishes you.

My Heavenly Father,
You are great and holy. I am weak and needy. I need your strength, Lord, for mine is gone. Pour your healing oil over me. Let it flow from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. As my body detoxifies, may the anointing of Jesus cover and protect me. Lead me into a small activity that will keep me busy helping someone else, and take my mind off of myself. As I do for others in your name, Lord, blanket me with your healing. I ask this with a penitent heart. I thank you, my Heavenly Father. I ask this in your Sons holy name, Jesus, amen.

A big hug to you all.
May your life be filled with pride,strength and joy.
Ger.
