It is vital to recovery from any addiction, or from the effects of a close relationship with an addicted person, to put in place daily spiritual disciplines. I refer to setting aside time every morning to ask your source of spiritual strength, or Higher Power, to be able to stay away from the first drink, drug, bet, website, or other addictive behavior, or attempt to control another person. One assist in this daily discipline can be through reading a daily meditation or reflection geared to your particular addiction, you know, those little books with a page for each day? The books can be purchased online from organizations like Hazelden: www.hazelden.com/, or you can subscribe to my service and receive a daily reflection by e-mail from me: http://www.alcoholdrugsos.com.
