The path of the addiction experience is a powerful one. It has a deep meaning, both as part of the human experience and as an experience for your Soul’s growth.
It pushes you to dig deep into you … who you are… who you want to be… to find yourself and your path, and above all, it forces you to heal yourself from the inside out.
To get to the core of your personal addiction, you have to explore to find out why it’s there and what led you to become addicted.
You have a history … a story that defines who you are.
There is a reason you are where you are now. Understanding how your story pushed you to become who you are is essential to your healing process.
The most important thing you will ever do for yourself is to understand who you are and why you are here.
The spiritual path of addiction helps you define your Soul’s path more clearly. It is an opportunity to look openly and clearly at yourself and grow immensely as a Soul.
Addiction is one of the most difficult paths a Soul can choose. Only the wisest and strongest of Souls will choose this path because of its potential for growth.
The more difficult the path you have chosen, the bigger your purpose in life is to help others. The bigger the negative experiences you have had in your life, the deeper you have to go within to heal yourself. This is how you find out who you really are.
You can’t be afraid to look closely at yourself and your life to find out why you chose your experiences. This world has gotten tough and it’s not getting any easier. It’s a call for everyone to be better and be more.
To do that, you have to look within … and do it with no fear.
There is a reason for all that you chose, and a really good one.
Hurting Yourself is Never the Answer
Suicide is defined as “the act of taking one’s own life.” (American Addiction Centers 2018) This can be something that you choose to do in one simple act, or that you choose to do slowly over time with many actions designed specifically to hurt yourself beyond repair.
The karmatic repercussions of hurting yourself, instantly or slowly over time, without working to bring yourself back into balance, are vast. It’s perfectly normal for everyone to get out of balance at some point and time, but every time you intentionally choose to hurt yourself by purposely throwing yourself out of balance,
or damage yourself beyond repair, you are hurting your Soul. You are taking yourself off your path and down the wrong one.
You make choices that have consequences. Each and every day. You choose to live or you choose to die. You choose to be happy or not. You choose to go to work or not. You choose to connect to people or you choose to be alone. You choose to help others or be selfish. You choose.
There are some days that you’ve just had enough. Everyone has those days. But how do you choose to cope with it?
Do you choose to destroy the life you’ve worked so hard to create and all the good you have done … decide you’re done with it all and just disappear? Or do you choose to continue to work to create something better for yourself and those you care about
… to potentially make something really good out of something that seems damaged?
You chose to come here as a Soul … to learn, to grow, to give back and to fulfill your purpose.
When you do not complete the things you came into this life for, you not only hurt yourself, but you also hurt those you came here to serve.
It’s not just about you. It’s about others as well. It’s about fulfilling your purpose. You have a reason for being. Everyone does. Why should those you came here to help not benefit from what you came here to do? There are people that need you.
It takes an extremely strong person to go through addiction, heal from it, and go on to help others with their own experiences from it. Why should others in the world be shortchanged by not benefiting from what you have learned and experienced? Everyone has a basic right to learn and to grow. When you take it upon yourself to limit your life and limit your capabilities, you shortchange others around you.
It’s a call for you to find out who you really are, why you chose the path you did, heal yourself and take what you have learned from the experience to help others. That’s what you are here to do.
It’s never just about you. Remember that.
