When We Just Can't Stop (Discovery Series Booklet)

Addictions raise many questions.

Are they moral weaknesses, diseases, habits, or sins?  Are they physical dependencies, or complicated spiritual cycles?  What's needed for change? Is it medical treatment, family intervention, daily group accountability, or spiritual transformation? Can behaviours be changed quickly, or will recovery be the process of a lifetime?  The answers to these questions are anything but simple.  Honesty demands that we acknowledge the complexity of addiction.
