Hi Danyool!I agree that Kat has hit the nail on the head.I want to encourage you though to not give up!You are being brought kicking and screaming to the end of yourself i know i went through the same expierence i started to hate what i was doing and had no will to stop-finally i realised i had to hate what i was doing as if it was my ENEMY then i stopped.Our father will make you stop when he sees you are ready.And i wasnt young when this happened.
Hang in there brother! Peace and grace of our Father be yours.

 "I dont want to leave Him, but if i have to i will in hope that He will come back for me."

1 O LORD, you have searched me
       and you know me.
 2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
       you perceive my thoughts from afar.

 3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
       you are familiar with all my ways.

 4 Before a word is on my tongue
       you know it completely, O LORD.

 5 You hem me in—behind and before;
       you have laid your hand upon me.

 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
       too lofty for me to attain.

 7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
       Where can I flee from your presence?

 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
       if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.

 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
       if I settle on the far side of the sea,

 10 even there your hand will guide me,
       your right hand will hold me fast.

 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
       and the light become night around me,"

 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
       the night will shine like the day,
       for darkness is as light to you.

 13 For you created my inmost being;
       you knit me together in my mother's womb.

 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
       your works are wonderful,
       I know that full well.

 15 My frame was not hidden from you
       when I was made in the secret place.
       When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

 16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
       All the days ordained for me
       were written in your book
       before one of them came to be.

 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
       How vast is the sum of them!

 18 Were I to count them,
       they would outnumber the grains of sand.
       When I awake,
       I am still with you.

There is no where to go to leave God. He is always where you are. It sounds to me like you are already seeing the Beast. It is that carnal part of you that you want crushed to powder. It is also that carnal part of you who wants to do something to fix it yourself.

Romans 7
21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am!

Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!

The more I struggle to free myself the tighter the grip. I am very stubborn and I struggle until I give up on each carnal part of me that God brings to the surface and reveals to me. It is a fight to the death. Only God can bring us to repentance and He always wins. It is a process. I can kick and fight to speed it up, but that doesn't change anything. I can't stand sitting in sin. It always ends up with me on my knees telling God that this is who I am and I can't change it. I can't even bring myself to a place of rest. I can't slay the beast. I surrender to you. Please complete your work in me.

Hebrews 10:
21And having an high priest over the house of God;
22Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

lorrie:
I see in my post that it reads like i am perfect i did not mean THAT. i am still at war with many things inside of me, such as trying to fix my problem of being unemployable and impatient,.. i was refering to the the obvious things like smoking -drinking etc.

 I too was blessed by M.G s post.Thank you!
