  • Description

    Breaking the Addictive Cycle: Deadly Obsessions or Simple Pleasures? is a 32-page minibook by David Powlison that examines why people turn to unhealthy habits such as shopping, overeating, drinking, or drug use for comfort. These behaviors promise relief but often leave people feeling empty, anxious, guilty, and wanting more.

    Powlison explains that God made us for rest and pleasure, not for an obsessed and unsatisfied life. By understanding the true pleasure that comes from loving God and enjoying the good gifts he has given us, readers can reorder their thinking and find freedom from their obsessions. This minibook offers practical suggestions to increase healthy pleasures and decrease destructive obsessions. Published by New Growth Press.
