How to Overcome Addiction

By Metropolitan Youssef

When we speak about addiction, the first thing that comes to mind is drug and alcohol addiction because this problem represents a danger threatening individuals, families, and society at large. Addiction, however, is not in reality limited to only drugs and alcohol, but its concept extends to encompass every habit that holds a person captive. Despite the damage resulting from the dominion of these habits over a person-whether from the health, mental, or material aspect, or their effect on the social condition-nevertheless, the person continues to practice them because he is robbed of his will and freedom. In a new volume of his "How to" series, His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef addresses the subject of addiction, explaining its elements, causes, symptoms, and treatment, in his customary succinct style. H.E. Metropolitan Youssef was ordained Bishop in 1992 and elevated to Metropolitan in 2022 for the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States. His Eminence has completed a Ph.D. degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, TX.
