		<description><![CDATA[Addicts are spiritually immature by nature. They often search for black-and-white answers to their problems. If addicts have developmental issues it is easy to see that they will also have childish and adolescent beliefs about God (see May, 1988; Miller, 1987).

They have deep sadness, feelings of shame, and loneliness. A. Protect against emotional triggers. It is vitally important for these emotional issues to be addressed.

Alcohol allows many to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[God has made us “fearfully and wonderfully” (Psalm 139: 14). One of the amazing qualities of the body is its ability to adapt.
