Beyond smoking, Dikeh also touched on other hidden personal struggles, including a battle with masturbation. Her transparency in sharing these sensitive details highlights the intensity of the personal battles she fought away from the public eye.
The actress emphasized that her troubles extended beyond mere substance abuse, encompassing deep-seated emotional and spiritual afflictions. She specifically mentioned being delivered from:
- Chronic Rage: Dikeh admitted to struggling with intense, destructive anger issues that often played out publicly and contributed to conflicts in her personal life and relationships. She testified to receiving healing from this persistent rage.
- Spiritual Yokes: She used the term “spiritual yokes” to describe the invisible burdens and negative cycles that held her captive, suggesting that her deliverance was comprehensive, addressing both the physical addictions and the root spiritual causes.
According to her testimony, the definitive turning point in her life came through a deep commitment to faith, which provided the ultimate pathway to overcoming her 27-year addiction and persistent emotional burdens. She credited God for the deliverance, asserting that her transformation was a miracle that freed her from a destructive path.
