Addictions are fundamentally our wrong choices, our looking to something which God created in attempts to fill the void and satisfy the soul and the function of the soul. The appetite will never be satisfied by anything created.
Imagine combining the wisdom of ancient spiritual practices with modern recovery methods. That's exactly what Fr. Christophe Lepoutre sets out to do in his podcast series 'Healing Addictions'. In this introductory episode, Fr. Christophe dives into the concept of the appetitive function and its crucial role in addiction. He explains how our cravings often lead us astray, seeking fulfillment in things that can never truly satisfy the soul.
Instead, he emphasizes that true satisfaction comes from spiritual nourishment and divine connection. Fr. Christophe also sheds light on the Jesus prayer and how monastic traditions contribute to addiction treatment. Drawing from the teachings of Saint Simeon the New Theologian and Saint Gregory Palamas, he discusses the importance of physical sobriety as a foundation for soul healing. This episode is a blend of theology and practical advice, offering listeners a unique perspective on addiction recovery.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this podcast provides valuable insights and a comforting space to explore spiritual healing.
