This assumes that the Spiritual Awakening experience either does not exist or has no bearing on life long recovery.
My experiece was that before I had it, sobriety was an One-Ardous-Day-At-Time struggle and one millisecond after I had experienced it, sobriety was a complete outside issue. I no longer had to think about drinking or not-drinking ever again. Living life ODAAT became my goal after that.
Having experienced both ODAAT abstinence and a Spiritau Awakening, I would go as far as to say that they are two completly different ballgames.
