Addiction can be defined as an unnatural and unhealthy attachment to a substance or a behavior. It is a defining problem of society today (though it has been a human affliction from the beginning of time), with physiological and mental health components that must be addressed. As well, however, the desolation, feelings of abandonment and guilt associated with addiction are in many ways spiritual problems which require spiritual remedies.
