I have been redeemed from drugs and alcohol, but still have the habits of smoking cigarettes and to say a defensive attitude against my past life being homeless and losing everything including my own life. Coming to a true belief that the addiction has been removed from my life in existence after praying that God take my life because I didn’t want to live that way anymore. Now I am reorganizing my life with new people places and things to be behind me, but want to gain that new understanding as well letting go of my old ways to be reformed in the new ways of God’s love and truth.
Please understand that I no longer suffer from addiction and want to live a new life as God has given me.
In Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen

Brother, thank you for sharing your testimony. It’s powerful to see how God has already redeemed you from drugs and alcohol and given you a new life in Him. That alone is a huge work of grace, and I praise God with you for that.
I’m praying that the Holy Spirit continues to renew your mind and heart as you walk this journey—breaking every remaining habit that doesn’t belong in your new life, including smoking and any defensive attitudes rooted in past pain. May the Lord heal every wound from homelessness, loss, and your former life, and replace it with His peace, love, and security.
You are not who you used to be. You are a new creation in Christ, and He will finish the good work He started in you. I pray God surrounds you with strong, loving believers, gives you wisdom in every decision, and helps you fully walk in His truth, freedom, and identity.
Standing with you in prayer, in Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
