When we are abandoned, when we believe or sense that we are abandoned by god and therefore we abandon ourselves, we go into a sort of zombie state. Now that's when addiction, as I say, becomes absolutely necessary, that is when we need our drug of choice.
Ever wondered how faith can play a pivotal role in overcoming addiction? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the complexities of addiction through the lens of Romans chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8. He tackles the heavy topics of wrath and sin, explaining how these forces can lead to self-abandonment and a desperate need to fill the void with addictive behaviors. But Cook doesn't leave it there.
He offers a beacon of hope: engaging in conversations with God and praising Him, even when it feels impossible. This act of faith, he argues, is the key to a full soul and a life free from addiction. Colin's insights make this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. His empathetic approach and deep understanding of scripture provide both comfort and actionable steps for those on the path to recovery.
