He created a hunger and thirst in order to satisfy, in order to give us an experience of need, so that we could experience along with it the fulfillment of that need, the satisfying of that need by his very life.
Ever wondered how spiritual needs tie into addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Healing Addictions II', Fr. Christophe Lepoutre dives deep into the concept of the appetitive function, which is all about understanding our basic needs and how they drive our behaviors. Fr. Christophe, the Executive Director of The Fellowship of the Inexhaustible Cup, shares insights from the International Conference on the Theology of Addictions.
He emphasizes that addressing addiction isn't just about tackling physical cravings but also about nurturing our emotional and spiritual well-being. He believes that our natural tendency to seek physical solutions for spiritual problems can be redirected through the sacraments of the Holy Orthodox Church, offering what he calls 'pure living water'. This episode encourages listeners to consider a more holistic approach to recovery, one that integrates spiritual practices with traditional therapy.
If you're curious about how spirituality can play a role in overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
