Is learning to cope with stress and anxiety in your life that much different that learning how to become a doctor or a lawyer? Is not education no matter what the subject simply education? There is room in the world for all beliefs. For some people God and addiction are meaningful. For some packaging God with addiction just gives them another reason to leave a drug rehab center.
