For myself the hole could only be filled by a higher power who I choose to call God. I have found spirituality is so much more than a belief in an all powerful force. It is incorporating the teachings of the great enlightened ones into the daily fabric of my life. Prayer, love, enlightenment, being the best I can be, helping others, and turning my will and life over to the care of God are some these of the things I do that fill the hole that I tried unsuccessfully to fill with alcohol
