[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 553390, member: 84"] This is going to probably come out wrong.......... But I think for some addicts, their new "addiction" becomes religion/god. I'm not saying that is a bad thing. I mean if you have an addictive personality, then it would be best for you to be addicted to something good than self destruct. I think they cling to the religion/god part of it like they once did the drugs. They're handing off what they can't handle (whatever it might be) to something/someone else. Makes sense. Like I said, though, I don't see it as a bad thing. Except this happens quite a bit with addicts in first stages of recovery........also with newly saved christians.........and trust me, it wears off in time. Doesn't mean they're not still religious and faithful, just means the over the top behavior dissipates. Like Janet said, I'd keep my hand on my wallet though, while hoping for the best. [/QUOTE]
