Today Sam and John discuss addictions, what they are, how to define and understand them, and how to continuously work throughout life to overcome them as Catholic men. We go into the clear and clinical breakdown of addictions with a big ‘A’ versus a little ‘a’. We discuss the difference between substance versus behavioral addictions and how to overcome each. How do we break free from that which is keeping us in bondage or tempting us to addictions and further comfort?

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John are joined by a Catholic man and psychiatrist of incredible wisdom and experience, Dr. Kevin Majeres. Kevin guides us in how to embrace our anxiety and challenges head-on as an opportunity for our sanctification provided by God. As GK Chesterton stated, “An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered.” However, as nice as that sounds, it is in this episode that we learn how to use these challenges and anxeity as God’s will towards our sanctification.
