Overcoming addictions can be very difficult, but with a dependence upon God and His word you can overcome them. God never tempts beyond what a person can endure.

Our team is not pretty. We’re the rejects. We have all the players the world wouldn’t take. We’re small and pitiful. We have little talent. We’re simply out-manned in this contest.
