The Anatomy of Addiction
When we partake of things that are addictive, just a little bit doesn’t satisfy. We want more—and then we need more. We can become enslaved to many things:
- prescription drugs
- food & overeating
- gambling & computer games
- pornography & romance novels
- television & soap operas
- spending & shopping
The desire itself may not be inherently wrong. The problem comes in when that desire becomes a demand and we find ourselves giving in to the temptation to fulfill it in an illicit way.*
