Why a spiritual cure.....
Well, not only was I physically sick with
putting poison, alcohol, in my system,
but it also affected my thinking, emotions,
my spirit, heart, soul.
Each time I drank I could have been mean,
cruel, selfish, dishonest, lying, stealing, all
making my heart and mind sick.
It never made me feel good when I we
cruelly making fun of others, lieing to
love ones, friends, not caring what happens
to others just as long as I got my way.
All self seeking, selfish motives that would
keep me sick in my addiction.
Having a successful program I was taught
and learned allowed my heart, soul and mind
to heal. To become compassionate, more loving,
more caring, more forgiving etc.
That to me is the spiritual progress I wanted
to achieve in recovery and my life. With out
healing mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally
in recovery with a program of recovery and Faith
in a Power greater than I, for guidance and care,
then I would remain in a prison of hell with my
addiction.
I wanted and still want to strieve to be the
best person I can be not only to myself but
for others around me.
