Believe it or not, there are certain Soul-level traits and characteristics that can sometimes predispose someone toward an addiction. These include “Old Souls,” or Souls who have had so many lifetimes that they have achieved what seems to be a “master” status when it comes to experiencing incarnations.
These Souls have chosen to dedicate their lives in their current incarnation to learning about addiction so that they can go on to help others with what they have learned and already know as Souls. These Souls automatically tend to fair better when dealing with addiction because they have more self-control and the knowledge and ability to heal themsleves within more easily than less experienced Souls.
There are also Souls who are what we would call “Young Souls.” These individuals have lived less lifetimes, but have also chosen the lesson of addiction in one form or another to learn and grow from it, but struggle much more with it because of their limited number of incarnations in the human experience.
Regardless of the Soul’s level of experience, understand that the lesson of addiction is a choice on the part of the Soul to experience it in some form.
Traumatic experiences and events can precipitate the beginning of an addiction pattern in one’s life, but again, those experiences have been chosen by the Soul as a learning experience. Experiences are chosen, not only for learning and growth, but as a means through which the Soul can express itself and assist others in their own growth and development.
You Choose Your Life Experiences
Before you incarnated into this life, you chose your life lessons. Yes, you did. You chose what you were going to experience so that you could learn and grow as a spiritual being and go on to help others.
Drug overdoses and the addiction crisis are at an all time high in our country. Who do you think is going to help others with their addictions the most? Only people who have experienced it in some capacity can do it best.
You chose addiction as a path for a reason. You chose it to learn from it; to grow into a better human being and a Soul so that you can go on to help others. There are other people out there relying on your experiences so they can go on to learn from them and grow as well.
It’s never the case that it’s all about you.
If you were on the spiritual plane, you would be able to, very objectively, look down at your life like a board game. You would know that there are always choices and paths you can take. There are always multiple options available to you at any given time.
You chose your path for a reason. That simple understanding opens up the question as to why you might have chosen that. It’s a brand new beginning and perception for you to understand that you might have actually chosen the path of addiction.
Then you can ask the next series of questions…
Why would I choose this? What did I hope to learn? Where did it begin and why? What pushed me along this path and why?
Just the simple idea that you might actually be the one in control of the choice to take this path (and not some random, unseen force) puts you back in control of taking yourself along a new path, and that can make all the difference.
