There is an overpowering conflict which occurs within the mind of anyone who has encountered the desperation of addiction. The struggle to escape one’s own mind by flooding it with toxic levels of mood-altering chemicals is the true definition of insanity. Yet, many of us suffered from this fatal and debilitating disease, consenting to the madness as if there were no other option.
In search of total recovery, we discovered we were not only seeking to be delivered from our dependency on mind or mood-altering substances, but we also searched for freedom from our thought processes, our twisted perceptions, and our obsessive fears.
In this emotional state of chronic crisis, we were exhausted.
We struggled to be free from a mind which plotted its own demise. Our thoughts quite literally tormented us to the point of insanity. We needed a way to manage our feelings and silence our sickness.
Our problem was not that we felt guilty. The problem was that we were guilty.
- We were damaged and we had caused damage.
- We were hopeless and infused hopelessness into everything we touched.
- We were in a death march toward nothingness and our lives had no direction.
- Our primary purpose was to find a reprieve from ourselves.
- Our public self was known by our private self as a fraud.
