Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.
God created us for freedom in Christ. From the beginning of creation, He ordered man to rule over plants, animals and everything on the face of the earth. Unfortunately, with the fall and arrival of sin, human beings have allowed themselves to be enslaved by all kinds of addictions and compulsions.
Drugs are one of the Evil One's strategies to kill, steal and destroy lives, families and dreams. Illicit substances (natural or synthetic), even the most common and permitted ones such as alcohol and cigarettes, can act in the body as stimulants, or disturbing/hallucinogens, or as tranquilizers, and cause severe dependence in their users. Added to this evil obedience, other problems such as violence, abuse, abandonment, loneliness and spiritual emptiness will be associated.
Don't let yourself be overcome by evil... Drugs imprison on a physiological, psychological and spiritual level. The Bible, however, shows us that there is a way out: in Jesus Christ we can be freed from all kinds of dependence. He wants you to be sober, authentic and free. And we achieve true freedom when we serve the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.
We can only definitively abandon addiction when we humbly allow God to be Lord of our lives. The false sense of freedom you get from drugs doesn't compare to the true joy and peace you find in God.
The Word of God has power to free the spirit, mind and heart of the one who truly believes in the Lord. When we exchange our will for God's will, we are no longer controlled by our bad impulses and desires and become guided by the Spirit of God.
Seek help! With God you can get out of this! It is not something automatic, but a process, a daily walk with Jesus and his Word. Look for your family and some Christian church and ask for support. It's important to have people by your side on this journey. In addition, it will take time for the body to detoxify and rehabilitate itself again.
It is certain that, if you seek with faith and with all your heart, God will give you the conditions to leave addiction and help you to rise again... Trust him and seek to know Him through the Bible. By knowing the Truth, you will discover freedom in Christ, which will free you from all kinds of drugs and addictions.
Note: you may need professional help on this journey to stay drug free. God also uses healthcare professionals to set you free, this is not a lack of faith.
Drug Liberation in the Bible
Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, given to you by God, and that you are not your own? You were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body.

Romans 12:21
Now, the works of the flesh are manifest: sexual immorality, impurity and licentiousness; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before: Those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21

1 Corinthians 3:16

John 8:32
wine is mocking
and the fermented drink provokes quarrels;
it is not wise to let yourself be dominated by them.
Proverbs 20:1
Whose are the woes?
Whose sorrows?
And the fights, whose are they?
What about unnecessary injuries?
Whose are the red eyes? Of those who linger drinking wine,
of those who are looking
of mixed drink. Don't be lured by wine.
when it's red,
when it sparkles in the glass
and runs smoothly! In the end it bites like a serpent
and poisons like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things,
and your mind will imagine distorted things. you will be like who
sleeps in the middle of the sea,
like who lays down
on top of the mast ropes. And he will say: "They beat me,
but I felt nothing!
They hit me, but I didn't even notice!
When will I wake up
so you can drink one more time?"
Proverbs 23:29-35
So let us not sleep as others do, but let us be watchful and sober; for those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. Let us, however, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet of the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:6-8
Woe to those who get up early
to get drunk,
and warm themselves with wine until the night!
Isaiah 5:11
Be careful how you live; let it not be like fools, but like wise men, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be unwise, but seek to understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
Ephesians 5:15-18
The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I came that they might have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:10
Promising them freedom, they themselves are slaves to corruption, for man is a slave to what dominates him.
2 Peter 2:19
Live as free people, but don't use freedom as an excuse to do evil; live as servants of God.
1 Peter 2:16
It was for freedom that Christ set us free. Therefore, stand firm and do not allow yourselves to be subjected again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1
"The Spirit of the Lord
it's over me,
because he anointed me
to preach good news
to the poor.
he sent me
to proclaim freedom
to the prisoners
and sight recovery
to the blind,
to free the oppressed
Luke 4:18
