Addiction: How I get through it.

Even when things are going great, addiction lurks in the corner, waiting.

I had a beautiful day yesterday walking around Boulder with Paul and still in the back of my head a familiar chime goes off.

"You know what would make this day even better ..."

The mind always comes up with a thousand reasons to give in.

But I made a promise I would be sober for one whole year.

I would stop using drugs and alcohol to numb feelings.

And if I had just made that promise to myself, I'm sad to say I would have probably broken it by now.

But I didn't.

I promised God.

I laid my attachment at the feet of the Universe and said –

"Take it. Please Help me."

I know from personal experience that when I do this,

it leaves room in my cup for God to pour in new and better experiences.

It isn't easy.

But anything significant rarely is.
