| The root of addiction is a spiritual yearning that underlies all cravings and many addictions are so pervasive in our society that we fail to recognize them. Francis Seeburger compares the addict with the saint, suggesting that both show a willingness to sacrifice everything to satisfy their longings, and adds that addicts can achieve states of spiritual redemption as they struggle through recovery.
 Francis Seeburger, Ph.D., is chairman of the Philosophy Department at the University of Denver. He is author of The Stream of Thought and Addiction and Responsibility. |
