Here's the road:
1. Repent
2. Admit your weakness
3. Acknowledge God's strength
4. Ask for His help
5. Realise that it will not be easy.
6. Make practical ways in which to help yourself avoid the temptation.
e.g. Avoid places where you may encounter the addiction ( go to the extreme if necessary)
7. Find someone who you trust who will not judge you and be accountable for your actions to them, have them check up on you daily.
8. NEVER GIVE UP, even if you fail again.
9.Remember God really does love you .

Addiction is nothing to be ashamed of but the behavior it causes can be. I would suggest that you get into a recovery program and shut up and listen to what others have done to over come thier addictions. I would also suggest that you find someone to keep you accoutable because temptation can over power us. But the first is most importatnt be willing to admit defeat and then realize ther is one who can help you change and learn to ask the next right question then do the next right thing. Look at my answers and find the one about addiction you will find some help there.

Could I suggest you first forgive yourself and understand if you don't make mistakes your not going to learn anything
I would imagine your Father will be very proud of you for recognising something needs to be done and having courage in seeking a way forward
There are many good people on this page offering you very good advice its difficult to be more specific without knowing anything about you but wherever you are located there will be people who can help you further We all go through difficult periods that doesn't make us bad people
We are all learning
When You succeed imagine how proud Your Father will be then
Keep Going
Good Luck

This Girl is asking for help and all you atheist can do is make fun of her and her God. Shame on you!
God cares but what he cares about most is what have you done with his Son. Did you acknowledge his saving grace?
If God forgives you which he will do if you ask him to with a contrite heart, then who are you to not forgive yourself.
Turn to the Holy Spirit and let him in.
You may need counseling but to find the best help in that field pray first.
God Bless!

Jesus died for all sin and the you have committed will be no different than any that others have committed to God people are the ones that make some sins out to be worse than others God knows your heart and will forgive you when you are ready to repent of it you must change
God is never ashamed of us He gets hurt and disappointed by the choices we make though
Forgive yourself your father and believe God has forgiven you

Addiction can be overcome by self control. Once you find the remorse for your behaviour (acknowledging that you have acted disgracefully) and then self forgiveness, hand in hand with a determined committment to use self control and self discipline does work. Remorse is good but don't sit in self pity. Work hard to change, that is what ensures Grace.

You are a child of our heavenly father who loves you no matter what. We all are whether we know it or not. God is NOT ashamed of you but it sounds like you might be!
God gives us the strength to face up to and deal with the trials of this life, even those that are self inflicted, but that doesnt mean we have to do it alone and often we simply cant.
When the going gets too tough the Lord sends angels to bolster us up, these come in many forms, friends, family or even professionals. You have taken the biggest step of all and that is to admit you HAVE an addiction and need to get yourself sorted and back on track. You may love your Dad but you cant carry him, he needs to sort himself out and you must concentrate on getting yourself well. Go to your GP or ring the samaritans either can point you in the right direction. You have a long hard road ahead of you kid but you have taken the 1st step so you are on your way. Everytime you stumble or fall on that long hard road get back up and keep going even it at times you are on all fours!! You are now already on the journey to regaining your self respect and getting your life back. And no matter what anyone replies here to your question we all have one thing in common - we all wish you the best of luck and pray for your full and speeedy recovery. You are in my prayers kiddo - dont let the b******s grind yo down.

Addiction is a state of mind! The mind can break it and the mind can make it! This has been proven by Buddhist monks who can break heroin addiction by giving its patients time to live in a temple for 6 months, purely vegetables, meditation (mind strengthening and calm) and exercise everyday.
Also he maybe a bit annoyed to find you have filled this lovely image with toxins rather than cultivate it!

You have recognised that your actions cause harm. That is now the first step done. You now need to release whatever it is that causes you to be this way.
It may become difficult, but just know that the only way you can move forward is to just move forward.
Believing that you are disgraceful is only going to perpetuate the problem. You need to be aware that you are as brilliant as everyone else, but that the only person who can help you is you.
You have my support and encouragement along the way. I am contactable via email from my profile if you need further help.

Attend a Spiritual Life in the Spirit Seminar...
Surrender yourself to Jesus, obey His teachings and let the power of the Holy Spirit heal you.
