AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) has helped many.
Contact someone in AA.

Bill, there are many causes for the types of addiction you describe. And while I personally believe in a God Who can and does deliver, perhaps seeking yet another "religion fix" tonight isn't going to be a lasting answer. I'm just guessing, but you have probably reached out like this before - even if just silently in a church meeting.

You need help to identify the cause of the problem. The fact that you've been back and forth on this is evidence that you haven't hit upon a lasting solution yet. Don't let that discourage you. You are a person of worth and the very highest value in the eyes of God. He does offer you hope even still.

Internet forums can be a way to support a recovery program, but they are no substitute for one-on-one "face time" with a trained counselor. Please make it a point to schedule an appointment with someone. The A.C.T.S. courses in many Pentecostal churches is a good place to start if that's your background. If you prefer not to identify yourself among that group, you can still call a local substance abuse line. Briefly explain what you've just posted and ask them to set you up with someone right away.

Praying for you, bro.

Praying for you, Bill.

Bill I am also praying for you and will continue to do so. God loves you and wants to help you but in addition to directly touching you many times God chooses to use people to help people.

I agree with Sam that you need to enter AA to get some structure and accountibility to your efforts to stay drug free and sober. You will have an advantage over many of the other AA group members as you know how to connect to God in a way that many of them may not know how. God bless.

Deliverance can come thru many avenues God has provided - you must walk down them and apply the help you receive - Make up your mind that you want change and God will lead you to the ones who can help. He loves you so - don't give up!!!!!

Bill, I have recently started on my journey to better physical shape. I have found my mind, attitude and spirits are up since I started. In my case I have lost 36 lbs since Feb 20th and gone from nearly 250 to 212. I understood the risk and the health history of my family but stress would put me in a position to tell my self that I deserved to eat.

Once day in Feb I woke up and went downstairs and just felt like I was just not happy with myself. I remember saying a simple prayer and all in that moment, the Lord showed me those around me.

How that being in the best physical shape and having a clear mind would equip me for more in my life.

It was at that moment that I started on my journey, now I work out at when I used to grab the cheese at 10:00PM.

Your journey needs to be one of trusting in the Lord and taking the first step that you know should be taken.

The best is yet to come!
