Alcoholism / Drug Addiction

Have you tried various methods to stop or moderate your drinking or drug use, and found that they did not work? Moderate drinkers and hard drinkers can stop or moderate their drinking or drug use with various methods such as the warning of a doctor/wife, falling in love, church, or even just going to meetings (90/90). We all know people just like this. After a significant consequence of their drinking or drug use they can choose to stop and stay stopped. Twelve step fellowships and even the recovery industry are filled with great intentioned people just like this. If one of these passes on their experience to a real alcoholic or a real drug addict the chances for sobriety are slim. The disease of alcoholism and addiction are going to be treated in one of two ways,

1. Spiritual Experience as the result of all twelve steps. (not just going meetings)

or

2. More drinking and using

What if you are a real alcoholic or a real drug addict? What if you have tried these methods along with countless rehabs and still find yourself drunk and high? Recovery is not going to happen because you need it or want it! Becoming recovered happens to those who do the work. Our experience as real deal alcoholics and real deal drug addicts is that we had to have a Spiritual Experience as the result of all 12 steps to recover. This cycle below illustrates step one. If you are reading this you are probably at the bottom of this cycle (firm resolution). Our experience is, this will continue over and over unless a Spiritual Experience is acquired.

We admitted we were POWERLESS over alcohol/drugs --
That our lives had become UNMANAGEABLE.
