I most definatly have faith and believe in a higher power. However I have an opiate addiction but i dont do it to rebel against God or cause i feel like committing a sin, its an addiction. Do you believe God understands this and knows that I dont take drugs because i dont want to follow him or anything; I still want to worship him and follow his ways. Drugs is definatly not God's part of God's law. So can I still be true to God even though i have this cunning addiction.

I dont think he leaves you. But im sure he feels like your leaving Him. Check yourself into a rehab.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Romans 8:38-39,"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.""If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

They say that God never leaves you, but you are the one who leave Him; I believe this is just a big lie to make you feel more guilty because you do what you want to do.
