Soul Recovery

In each of us is a light that is intended to shine; a soul created for goodness. At the beginning of drug abuse all seems harmless enough; we are just experimenting, we want to fit in, it’s just this one time. Unfortunately, in most cases the experiment continues as the addict feverishly chases that high trying to relive it. Meanwhile, the more drug intake, the less light our soul emits. No one sets out to intentionally allow drugs or alcohol to take over and have ones soul be stolen from them. Addiction does not care about the one taking the drug or drink, addiction only wants to extinguish the light of the soul, and in doing so addiction has accomplished the job it was hired for-destruction.

Drug addiction is no respector of persons; the lawyer, doctor, musician, artist, student are all prey to this disease. No one is exempt from the destruction that addiction casues to oneself, family, friends and community. The important factor is that we not look at the person but the disease, because its the disease of addiction that has control over the light switch of the soul.

Drug treatment gives the addict control again over the light switch of the soul. Taking the first step and admitting that drugs or alcohol, or anything that is controlling one from allowing the souls light to shine as it was created, is the beginning of recovery.
