It’s like an argument between a husband and wife. There is a disagreement, points are made, the yelling starts and then, somewhere down the line, one of them or both lose track of what the argument is about. That is the way I see recovery from alcoholism. It doesn’t matter who started the argument, the primary concern is to end it.

Addiction is a disease and it doesn’t only affect our bodies and brains, but it affects our spirit as well. There is a movement in the addiction industry toward a more holistic approach to treatment where the whole person is treated rather than just physiological symptoms or superficial emotional anxieties. Spiritual therapy is an integral part of recovery and is increasing borrowing from other traditions.
