This
week's guest is Michael, who self-identifies as a recovering
religious addict. But what exactly is "religious addiction," and
how would you even know if you are one?
Writing on the Religious Addicts Anonymous blog,
Michael defines religious addiction as follows: "The religious
addict has developed the capability to produce a spiritual high
and/or trance-like state, the source of which the addict attributes
to a HP [higher power], but in reality the cause is a pathological
response in the mind of the addict to heavily ritualised
behaviours."
If
you've left religion, a cult, or a high-control group behind, part
of your potential recovery is to educate yourself and to identify
the ways in which behaviors and actions from the past have stymied
your further growth and development. I believe this episode will
help you do exactly that!
