How many of us are bombarded by life’s overwhelm so often that we turn to alcohol or other substances in search of a few moments of relief?
It’s a difficult situation that can quickly spiral out of control. I know this because I’ve experienced it first-hand.
In my early 20’s, I was addicted to drugs and alcohol so severely that I couldn’t let it go without help.
After going to treatment, staying sober for a year, relapsing, and then getting sober again for the final time on June 23, 1991, I discovered something that would change my life forever… one simple morning practice and began putting a more holistic focus on my life.
The pain that I was experiencing was transformed into presence, acceptance, connection and joy.
