I’m baaaaack….finally. In this, my 2nd come back episode, I am continuing our thoughts about “life after addiction” because, after all, we do have to move on from addiction and even get past recovering and begin moving on into living sober. By getting past active addiction, we have overcame an amazing obstacle, which is awesome, but at some point we’ve got to move on into what comes next. What a lot of us are left with, though, are the questions about spirituality. Particularly those of us who had really bad overdoses and came back from it with memories of “while we were out.” Most of us are afraid of ridicule so we don’t talk about it, well I do. You’re welcome. It causes a lot of us to question a lot about spirituality and what we’ve been trained to believe vs what we actually experienced. It created in me an unbreakable faith in a Creator, but forever shattered the paradigms of organized religion. So now what, Matt? Well, dear recovering addict, now we strip it all down to raw spirituality, just us and the Big Guy, the Creator, the Universe, the Oversoul, etc. and figure out what we are left with. Once we strip out all the lies and programming, then what we are left with must be what’s true, like it or not. We figure out what resonates with us (more on resonance, frequency and vibration soon) and go with it.
Yes, once we get past active addiction, and then past recovery and begin living sober, we have to really figure out what we are going to do with the rest of our lives. We may as well get real, or more accurately, keep being real, and face spirituality head on the same way we did addiction. Life is about the journey, not the destination, so lets go!
