Drugs And Alcohol, A No No.

I remember in my early years of my mental illness, before I got saved. I use to mix drugs and alcohol with my medication. It would put me in a crisis or put me in the mental ward and locked up for a while. They don't mix. But when I became a believer, the Lord took the drugs and alcohol away from me practically overnight. That's just what happened to me. First of all the Bible says in "Ephesians 5:18, Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the spirit." When we mix drugs and alcohol and get drunk and high with our medication, many things could happen. First of all we sin and we can do many silly things that we later could regret. It also can lead to debauchery like the Bible says. But what should we do instead, Scripture says to be filled with the Spirit. It`s difficult to do this if you have a problem with Drugs and alcohol. First of all you should seek professional Christian help if you do. But also in troubled times when we are tempted we must force ourselves to get into the word and trust God to see us through the temptation. Lead a Godly life and always going in His direction. Yes we might fail but God will never leave us or forsake us. Remember you are special in God`s eyes, He loves you and He only wants the best for your life. He is the answer to all our problems. But sometimes we must be patient. Everything is always in His time not ours because He knows everything and is in control of everything. He is God.
