The Spiritual Revolution: Guide to Spiritual Development & Independence (Paperbook)
For centuries we have been faced with the choice of labels verses desire to lead a spiritual life without restrictions. Now we are empowered with the ability and knowledge to seek and discover our own universal path, leading us back to the unity we were intended to pursue as part of the whole.
I Am My Best When I …
We all know that feeling, that feeling we get when we know we are on the right path. There is that sense of balance that comes over us and embraces our hearts with the most perfect warmth. It’s that moment when we feel like everything is perfect and we are content. We couldn’t ask for anything more or anything less. We are finally at home with ourselves and ready to face whatever the world throws at us.
When we are not at balance, there are doubts and concern. We feel although we are hitting obstacles instead of pathways. This is when there is something standing in the way of our spiritual energies. There is a blockage that prevents us from going forward with grace and ease.

Instead of feeling a sense of confidence in your life choices you may find yourself second guessing your decisions or feel a sense of fogginess.
Just as alcoholism has stages of progression for the alcoholic it also has stages of progression for the alcoholic’s loved ones. We continue to get worse along with our alcoholics. We have to get “sick” before we can get better. Loved ones of alcoholics have to become sick and tired of being sick and tired before they have the desire to seek outside help. The definition of insanity is trying the same things over and over and expecting different results. Without the proper tools and understanding of the behaviors and patterns of an addict we can easily fall prey to addiction. Our behavior can then have impact on those around us especially when children are involved.
Seeking out positive coping methods and support systems is the key to our own recovery. Talking with others that share the same grief and have experienced similar situations with alcoholism can turn our anger into awareness and our confusion into clarity. There are options to speak with counselors or you have the option to seek out a free support system called Al-anon Family Groups. There are hotlines for Al-anon that you can call and even online meetings that are scheduled if you do not have a meeting location in your area.
