In addiction circles, there is talk of putting belief in a power greater than the self (theism) as a means for recovery.
Because it was this reliance upon oneself (atheism) that got them into addiction to begin with.
It seems to me this scenario can substitute for any case of spiritual impoverishment, be it gambling, overeating, extreme poverty, overshopping, sexual addictions, disease and sickness, eating disorders, alcoholism, neuroses, criminal behavior, sexual/physical/emotional abuse, severe depression, OCD, etc.
Where is one to turn when it becomes impossible to look inward for spiritual comfort?
