ABOUT ADDICTIONS;

Addictions to drugs and alcohol have become a blight on society! Successful addiction recovery without continuous relapse has been eluding alcoholics and addicts as well as addiction recovery programs for decades. It is this authors opinion that society needs to recognize its failure, and re-evaluate the fundamental core programs that are all based on the 12-steps of AA. Step 3 in that program correctly indicates the need to surrender ones life to God, but incorrectly suggests that there are many gods to choose from. For there to be successful addiction recovery without continuous relapse, there is only One God capable of performing that miracle! If you agree, then you will find much more on the subject in all of my books.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

This book was written by someone who's "been there and done that!" Someone who's spent 30 years in the gutters and cesspools of addictions, waking up in a puddle of puke or in a jail cell on far too many occasions. Someone who knows firsthand and without any doubt, that I've only survived satan's death sentence through the Love, Grace, and Mercy of God and his Son, Jesus Christ. Every word in this book comes from the heart of personal experience, and, God's Word. It is not compiled from book learned philosophy and mans intellect. God's Word does not promote or tolerate man's "philosophy," (Col. 2:8). God raised and trained me in the streets and gutters of the real world where I was addicted to drugs and alcohol for 28 years, until Christ intervened, and revealed to me that He had a special plan for my life. I've now been "set free", and Saved and Sober for 35 years, only by the Grace of God and my Faith of a mustard seed is that possible! If God could do it for a lost, wretched man like myself, a man initially of "little" Faith, He most assuredly can do it for you, regardless of your background or Faith, or any other circumstances or excuses you think you may have that keeps you from His Grace. His Grace is a free gift to anyone who asks, and an expression of His Love for all of us. Not only can He rescue you and set you free from your addictions, but He wants very much to do so, because of His unconditional Love for you! He didn't Create you to see you waste your life away on drugs and alcohol! No matter what your addiction is, the many Truths of God's Word, and how they contradict the lies of satan's deceitfulness, are exposed in this book, and will change your life forever!

I am the founder of Addiction Crucifixion Fellowship, an addiction recovery program I started over 20 years ago to lead men and women to God's Truth as it applies to their freedom from the bondage of addictions. The lies and shortcomings of traditional secular 12-step addiction recovery programs are revealed through the Truth, God's Word. It is my prayer that this book, along with God's grace and guidance, will bless you in your journey to find freedom from the bondage of addictions. Whether you're a mentor, counselor, pastor, friend, family member, or an alcoholic or addict reading this book, may God bless you and answer this prayer. And, in the process, may He lead you into a closer and richer relationship with Him.
