Daily Inspiration

Ponder the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is something we acquire through various forms of education - books, experts, the Internet. Wisdom is a deep inner knowing of how to apply the knowledge in ways that support our highest good and the highest good of all. Knowledge without wisdom is the realm of the wounded self. Wisdom is the realm of the loving Adult.

Addiction Recovery

Read Articles on Overcoming AddictionsWelcome to our Addiction Recovery Center within our Learning Center!

Help with recovery from addictions - substance abuse, including alcohol abuse, drug addiction, food addiction, as well as healing from sexual addiction and addiction to love, power and control.

Addictive behavior comes from the intent to avoid pain. When we have not  learned to love ourselves and have not learned healthy ways of managing pain, it is likely we will abandon ourselves by turning to one or more addictions in the hopes of avoiding feeling our pain. The problem is that the addictive behavior, such as eating a muffin or having a beer, works for only a short time, and then the addictive behavior itself becomes a cause of pain. Inner Bonding, which is a process for learning to love yourself rather than continue to abandon ourself, is a powerful process for addiction recovery.

12-Step addiction recovery groups are extremely helpful for anyone wanting to move into abstinence from both substance and process addictions: food, drugs, alcohol, sex, spending, gambling, anger and violence, caretaking, and so on.

Loving actionSometimes it is helpful to have role-modeling for dialoguing with the wounded, addicted part of ourselves. Perhaps these dialogues can be of help to you to dialogue and take loving action rather indulge in your addictive behavior.

If you had a loving adult taking loving action for your inner child regarding addictive behavior, what would this look like for you? What would your inner child like from you? We invite you to write about your own experiences regarding what has worked for you.
