→Conservative power over addiction
In order to solve an addiction problem, one must admit one has a problem. Jesus said, "...the truth will set one free." (John 8:32).

Many addictions are promoted through the media, but [[conservative]] principles promote a healthy skepticism of the [[liberal media]]. The media do not exist to help anyone, but exist to make money for themselves and to promote a harmful [[liberal]] agenda. Without the media, [[gambling]] in lotteries would almost disappear, for example. In addition, lotteries are run by government and much of the proceeds go to government, which is not something conservatives support. [[NFL]] games would require going to the stadiums, paying a fortune in tickets, and freezing in the stands before becoming addicted to them.

Many approaches to addiction are entirely defensive in trying to resist the tendencies. But as in [[chess]], an offensive strategy is as important as a defensive one. Developing positive habits and hobbies can be very effective in overcoming negative ones.
