Why can't I stop eating, drinking, smoking, gambling, overspending, watching pornography, cheating on my spouse, yelling at my family or any other addictive pattern I've fallen into? Have you ever asked yourself that question? What's controlling you? Is it God or an addiction?

We always have good intentions to stop, but our cravings keep us from succeeding. We can relate to Paul when he said, "I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway" (Romans 7:19 NLT). We are stuck and have been stuck for a long time. God tells us there is a way forward. It's so simple that we overlook it. "Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:25 NIV).

We can't break free of strongholds and addictions in our own strength, but with Jesus we are strong. We have to want to be free. We have to long to be free. We have to surrender everything to Him. This step-by-step addiction manual will lead you through the process of putting Jesus first without a second.

Sweet Victory is both a memoir and a manual with action steps, prayers, and challenges to help you win your battle with God's help. "We thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus Christ, the Anointed One" (1 Corinthians 15:57 TPT).

This book really could save your life or the life of someone you love.
