Inner Hunger

There’s a kind of hunger we all have felt, but it has nothing to do with food.
We all have an inner drive to achieve things. When we try to satisfy this hunger with bad behavior such as alcohol or drug abuse, misuse of power or inappropriate sex, this inner desire to achieve remains unsatisfied.
Humans generally seem to think that this hunger can be satisfied with physical things, but really the hunger is spiritual in nature. God gave us this hunger to draw us to Him, and only He can really satisfy it.

It becomes a form of idolatry because the belief "no one can truly meet my needs" inevitably influences the addict's perception of God.")
