its really hard to say anything is wrong or for the weak, that can bring a person from misery to happiness. join a program. join a church. join a community, sell books in an airport, dive into work. join a gym. be part of something that makes you happy.
i will be the first one to say that there is no right way or wrong way to live a better life. i do think that there are heathier things to rely on other than alcohol.
many many people drink without a problem. |
The Irish pimp knows his shit....he walks the walk......
happy holidays brotha...
Great post, enlighten and discussion is good....it?s the very heart of recovery.
Religion is really not part of the deal, "turn your life over to God ...as YOU understand him" That is the great fail safe message to choose what ever you choose your higher power is...just so long as its NOT YOU.
I consider myself Spiritual....the mere definition of the two could be written like this:
Religion is for those who don?t want to go to hell.....
Spirituality is for those who have been to hell and don?t want to go back!
Another thing I found over the years for me were the very reasons we do this to ourselves and why? I think for me it was a deep rooted ?I don?t deserve it? thought of myself. I used drugs and booze to just sabotage all good that came my way?some do it with food, gambling and other things that can make you self destruct.
