Hello guys. So I was working on a project recently, and came across the heartbreaking story of a dead South African celebrity known as Brenda Fassie. I decided to write this to discourage more people out there to do away with bad addictions.

So, Brenda was quite talented as a singer and songwriter, and her talents helped her to the top of her career. Unfortunately, she became addicted to drugs. It was so bad that a report stated that she blew away more than R10-million, courtesy of her addictions. At some point, she had to write off six of her cars, including a Mitsubishi Pajero worth R300,000 and R280,000. The Pajero was believed to have been taken by drug lords, and it disappeared without trace.

It was also revealed that she made attempts to stop her drug habit, and she checked in at rehabilitation centers 30 times, spending up to R300 000. Unfortunately, she died in April 2004, and the post-mortem report revealed that she had taken an overdose of cocaine the previous day before she gave us the ghost. Her addictions damaged her completely.

Just imagine the very first time she tasted cocaine. She would probably have been excited, thinking she just found a new adventure that's pleasurable. Only if she knew that was the beginning of her slavery to what will kill her...

Some of you reading this right now might be addicted to something dangerous too. It might be alcoholism, smoking, prostitution, masturbation, stealing, porn, clubbing, gambling, womanizing, etc. Listen, you have to make a decision to stop, hence it will damage you one day.

I know some of you have been trying to stop doing those dangerous things you are addicted to, but it seems you just can't help yourself. Well, truly, you can't help yourself. That's why I will recommend that you give God the wheel of your life to enable Him help you

How? By getting closer to Him in an intimate relationship. How? By embracing Jesus as LORD and Saviour, and deciding to live according to His dictates. Indeed, JESUS won't fail you.

For those of you that just started doing something bad, you better stop immediately, before you get addicted to it. It might appear as if you are having fun (you might even think you can always control it), but in the blink of an eye, it becomes an addiction, and turned you into its slave - making you a miserable person before finally destroying you.

If you want to get addicted to anything, thenget addicted to good things that will help you. Get addicted to the things of God (studying the Bible, praying, etc). Get addicted to learning good and productive things.

Finally, to anyone still under the yoke of a brutal addiction, you are free in Jesus Name Amen

humilitypays:
Remove masturbation from your list, its not a dangerous addiction like you claim.


In fact, 9 in every 10 men was once a masturbator if not 10 in every 10 men.



Masturbation is a natural phenomenon that has no correlation with drug addiction or alcoholism or other dangerous addictions.


Even animals masturbate, so remove that from your list

Masturbation is ungodly ! It makes you weak both physically and spiritually. It should never be encouraged for whatever reason. It's even worse than drug addiction in the sense that it requires a great spiritual deliverance to overcome it. You can't indulge in whatever activity that God frowns at,no matter how pleasurable it might be,and think it is okay !

If I may ask,why should anyone masturbate and for what gain ? Hasn't it be proven that it leads to weak erection and sometime impotence ?

Desammyst:

God will help you in Jesus name. Amen! Kindly read the Bible more and meditate upon it. You can read this passages; John 3 and the entire book of 1st John. Then you meditate on it. God bless you.
N.B. If you need further assistance, you can quote me.

I'm actually facing the same thing. I usually have this feeling that one day, I may sleep and never wake up.
I'm helpless... I regret ever starting this... I have tried stop but not easy.... I always feel for my mother. She as really labour for my sake. My father was never there... I can't just imaging bringing her shame and sadness...

generalwo:
Your message has good intentions but until you're in the shoes of certain people, u won't understand why they are addicted to certain things.... People fight alot of demons everyday both internal and external...... One of those demons is fear, anxiety and depression... To overcome these forces, people take and do all sorts of things and in the process become addicted.... I don't support addiction of any kind but if you see anyone addicted to anything, instead of judging or condemning them, go close to them and try to know the reason for their depression..... All u have told us is her bad habits.... Did u read about her life and growing up? Do u know what made her begin to do drugs? What if she was molested as a child and the memory of that made her go into drugs? Like I said, I am not justifying addictions but as someone who have experienced life, I'm telling you that, more than 70 percent of addictions are caused by personal struggles with / through life

You are right, however, most celebrities and addicts face similar battles like everyone else.

The question is, why is everyone not taking drugs??

You might answer the above question as, we all handle our battles differently. Then I will ask again, why were they not into drugs until they made money or became popular?

I believe peer pressure, wrong groups/company, individual personality are the leading causes of addiction.

I do tell people, purify your heart before fame and comes, because MONEY/FAME amplifiers whatever it catches in your hands. If you're a giver, when money comes, you become a big giver, if you're into women, when money comes, you want more and more women.

.... Reason they don't do drugs before they became wealthy or famous is because hard drugs are expensive.... So they may have other addictions before they became famous.... For example, here in Benin, you need to see the way kids play with tramadol and refnol and shisha.... Simply because it's now very cheap... When they get rich, many of them will likely upgrade to cociane and other expensive hard drugs.....

NO. But could be a problem if you forget to go to work or school because of sex.

We humans never even reach Bonobo chimps level.

Bad addiction?

Which one is good addiction?

Mercychen:
I really liked her then. So energetic in her videos and performances on stage.

I bought almost all her albums in the early 2000 and was always blasting it in the office.

My favorite of her songs are
Wedding day
Mi do do do la do ti
Tender care
And her hit song in yr 2000. Vulindulela. In fact, I love all her songs. Including the one she did with magic system " Matilsso".

Her death shook the world because she had fans all over.

You missed Umbogothi(Magic beer)...

StreetMedia:

You missed Umbogothi(Magic beer)...

That was not her. It was Chaka Chaka that did Ukomboti.

Mercychen:


That was not her. It was Chaka Chaka that did Ukomboti.

Ok.
I love that Chaka-Chaka.

Ohh, sad. She was an artist that made memories.

Over to you Indomie generation..
I can bet Chelsea to lose 7 nil to Norwich if you guys know who she was. ;

StreetMedia:

Ok.
I love that Chaka-Chaka.

Chaka Chaka was good too but not as good as Brenda. though she lived a more responsible and decent life.

Munzy14:

@The bolded is a case I usually tell friends..Before someone becomes addicted to drugs, alcohol and smoking...It is usually primed by something depressing.

They always think their addictions are easy way out.

I am still doing a small research work on causes of addictions..Probably this will pass as a material to prove some hypothesis.

Yeah, it's usually caused by depression or unresolved emotional trauma.
Brenda was never happy. One could tell she was nursing some hidden pains which she usually expresses most times in her songs when she breaks down in tears.

I always knew she was not a happy woman.

Knowledge is power they say, how I wish someone told me this when I was battling with my own addictions. See addiction, atleast the ones that are harmful to health are mainly consumptions. And consumerism is the backbone of our modern world that's why it is so difficult to escape addiction these days, because everything and everyone we experience these days puts us in a consumer mindset. The only way to escape this is to wield a producer mindset. For more explanations/coaching chat me up on whatsapp

This correct singer that year.

I understand, my brother... I have experienced negative addictions in the past, but Jesus Christ came through for me.
I have quite a lot of things to say, but I want you to know that GOD LOVES YOU very much.
Once you have acknowledge that the addiction is having a toil on you, and you signify interest in ridding yourself off it, thats the beginning of your freedom... Believe in God.
