The Wisdom of Abstinence

Posted 10 Dec 2024

At Hope For Addiction UK we promote total abstinence built upon a biblical understanding of addiction. Often the first illusion that needs smashed in recovery, is that the addict can consume alcohol or drugs with safety. In a recent article we further explain the why of total abstinence and how the bible helps us with this approach. Our Foreword underlines why we wrote this article;

We believe that abstinence offers a wise, loving, clear and positively godly response to past dependency, while also offering valuable help to unbelievers who may also see the wisdom of scriptural guidance.

The article is available by clicking this link and we hope you enjoy reading it. Our prayer is that it may be of benefit to church leaders, members and those in recovery who are looking to consider the issue of abstinence from a biblical perspective.
