A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION
Quote:
“Yes, there is a substitute and it is vastly more than that. It is a fellowship in Alcoholics Anonymous. There you will find release from care, boredom and worry.

Your imagination will be fired. Life will mean something at last. The most satisfactory years of your existence lie ahead.”

Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, A Vision For You, pg. 152
The solution for giving up an addiction is a spiritual one. When I came to recovery to get off my meds and to quit drinking, I went to meetings, meetings and more meetings. When I quit smoking, I went to meetings, picked up key tags and chips the same as I did for the drugs and alcohol. I didn’t substitute with food, I lost three pounds instead of gaining thirty pounds. There was a spiritual solution. Also, for me, when I quit smoking I held a crystal in my hand, which helped ground me, but it gave me that “something” to hold, and for me it is a piece of the Universe and very healing.

It also reminds me I am no less than no better than a piece of stone, I am a part of the whole, and we can all work together for good and become healthy and clean of all substances be they mental, emotional or physical in nature. Behind every scar there is trauma on all levels, and we need to look at the whole to heal.

As it says in the Big Book, half measures availed us nothing, we need to be willing to go to any length to stay clean and we need to find a spiritual solution.


WHO’S ON THE THRONE?
