| Relationships and life after drinking or drugs
So how do you establish respect in relationships after active addiction has ceased? Once again, I have to draw on personal experience along with what I have personally witnessed in the lives of others. Watching the power of example that I witness in my clients is a great teacher. My experience tells me that establishing respect in relationships is a process.

| NEED A RECOVERY PROGRAM?
I am blessed to be acquainted with a great group of people who are involved in addiction recovery and helping others.
Patrick Meninga who operates the web site www.spiritualriver.com is one of those people. Over the years, Patrick and I have collaborated on several pieces of work and we share many common beliefs. Both of us recognize the good work of 12 step programs; both of us believe that there are several options to the addicted to regain a fulfilling life that is addiction free.
In the world of illness and disease, there is a process that is known as recovery. I fully believe that addictions are a (mental) disease and believe that to live without the disease being active, that a planned program of recovery is needed.
Today I share an article from Patrick posted on April 2. |

| SPIRITUALITY-SOME THOUGHTS
I work with people who simply put, want to make major change in their life.
The reasons vary and may include addiction, abuse, stress, and depression. The common denominator is that the zest for life is not what they want and personal relationships are stressed or gone. Most of my clients do not love themselves.
Life transformation and the recovery of the life you want is a process. My experience and learning tells me it is a holistic process and one that requires “outside expertise” to guide the journey. |
