Addiction sets up a trap for us while appearing to address a deep need we are drawn to its attractiveness and the promise of feeling complete in some way a replacement for "god" is introduced to rob us of true spirituality.

We become spiritually malnourished believing we have found peace, prosperity, and fulfillment in the very thing that will rob us of it.

In addiction, we mistake:

- Numbness for Peace

- Indulgence for Abundance

- Gratification for Fulfillment

- Intensity for Intimacy

- Control for Safety

- Perfection for Competence
