Addiction is a disease that robs so many people of their lives and freedom. If there is a desire and willingness to get well, anyone can recover. This is a blog dedicated to the journey of recovery from drugs, alcohol and gambling. The site is the real life journey and path of emotional healing and spiritual growth through the 12 steps and a spiritual life. Inspiration, laughter and day to day experiences in sobriety. Recovering from addiction is a process of freeing oneself from "self" and overcoming the obsession of the mind that keeps us trapped in the cycle of abuse. Recovery is a process of not only overcoming the obsession of substances, but also a process of discovering self and a power greater than ourselves to rely on.
