my wife has joined a small charasmatic bible study that has many cult like features.i am looking for a referral of a counselor or church that is familiar with religious addiction.i live near washington dc but anywhere would be fine.i have been married for 34 years and this religious addiction has destroyed my marriage.
i read when god becomes a drug"understanding religious addiction"by fr leo booth
and my wife and her friends were in the book.i just dont understand how religion can destroy a family

I am so sorry for what you are going thru. Unfortunately, I have no advice to give you. Will be here listening, though. Can you explain a little more of what is going on (if you are comfortable with that)????????
