Anyone who has ever addressed a serious habit or addiction knows how difficult they can be to overcome. As Christians, we must provide dedicated, prayerful support to those who are working through such struggles. But in order to successfully address and conquer most habits and addictions, one needs to take a two-pronged approach. We must address why we were driven to the habit in the first place - which is almost always because we have a false view of who we are, where we belong, what is going to make us special or significant and how we achieve love and security - and become more Christ-centered. Some speak of this as being the mental or emotional aspect of addiction recovery but there is also the very real aspect of being physically addicted or dependent on the substance or behavior we have come to rely on. Both fronts must be dealt with and they must be dealt with each in their own way. In this podcast, we look at both the emotional / spiritual area and the physical aspect of addictions and discuss how to go about successfully addressing each.
