If you are traveling along the alcohol highway, my suggestion is to truly turn your “will” over to a higher power, the energy of the universe, God, or whatever you choose to call it.

If you believe that there is a power greater than yourself, then you are half way home. Recognizing this causes an immediate sense of humility which allows you get out of your ego, and step into some sense of freedom. It is a new path, and a new day.

For me a twelve step program truly worked. Everyone has their own thing that will help them from picking up a drink or a drug. Find what that is, and stick with it. It also helped me to be reading spiritual literature. Books such as “Conversations with God” and anything by Marianne Williamson really helped.
