Word of Wisdom

Today in my Doctrine and Covenants class, I was listening to the discussion about the Word of Wisdom. It was so amazing as I had been having thoughts about that. I was very grateful to hear that there was no reason to not believe in this. We believe it can harm us, but it is hard to become determined to not drink. Brigham Young had a hard time letting go of Tobacco. He was always trying to stop- but he had a hard time and made the mistake over and over. He would commit to stop, and then would take it again. He was addicted.
The reason for the revelation was because he wanted us to know that the companies who produced these substances were going to conspire to get us addicted. I can't believe that we are so lucky to have been warned. We can hold to the words, trust in our Father. He has a plan. He knew it wouldn't be easy- even for our Prophets, but he knew we could do it with his help.
It is a testimony to me that we are all going to stumble. The fact is we just have to get on our feet and try to move forward again. Its not easy- but its so worth it.
