Scripture/saints' on addiction, disorders?

[bookish]

Hi, all.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any bible passages or saints’ writings that might be helpful for someone wanting to break free from addiction and an emotional/psychological disorder. Any suggestions on some good spiritual reading to help with these problems would be most appreciated.

Thanks so much.

The Venerable Matt Talbot (not yet a saint) led a life that involved abstaining from alcohol.
