The disease of addiction revolves around the lie. An addict lives life by lying to oneself. The concept that everything is better when drugs and alcohols is consumed. This lie manufactures a false contentment based upon false feelings. This falsehood is exaggerated and consumes an addict’s entire life. This lie is passed on to family and friends, including anyone they come in contact with. The scenario for living a lie is to use lies to support every facet of life. Lying becomes easier than conveying the truth. Truth is the opposite of the lie; in fact the truth is at enmity with the lie. The remedy for addiction is truth. The bright light of truth pushes the lie away and dissolves its existence. Addiction is a spiritual disease. The lack of truth is a lack of GOD. GOD is truth. Everything GOD does is truthful. GOD cannot lie. Anything that separates from the will of GOD is a lie. The remedy for the lie is truth. By entering the truth into one’s life, one allows GOD to permeate our existence. Addiction and the lie starve one from GOD and the truth. To recover means to seek the truth in all we do. Truth is the remedy for the lie of addiction.
