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.

- Indulgence for Abundance
- Gratification for Fulfillment
- Intensity for Intimacy
- Control for Safety
- Perfection for Competence...
