A Case For Addiction

from Be Encouraged

In this episode, Dean Chicquette presents a spiritual perspective that reclaims addiction as a fundamental human drive intended for relationship with God. The author reflects on his personal struggles with dependency, ultimately concluding that the human capacity for intense craving is a divine design meant to be satisfied by Christ rather than worldly substances. By reframing religious devotion as a "drug of choice," the source suggests that humans possess an inherent inner void that only the creator can truly fill. This spiritual attachment is described as a pathway to abundant life, characterized by virtues such as joy, peace, and self-control. Ultimately, the work encourages readers to redirect their compulsions toward the divine in search of wholeness and purpose.
