Overcoming Addiction Issues

Hello, Jordan. 

Firstly I would like to thank you ahead of time for any advice you are able to give. I also want to thank you for sharing your wisdom, and for the wealth of information you provide. I can only imagine how many lives you've changed for the better.

I'm not sure exactly whe to start, and I don't want to overload you either so I'll try and get it all out as quickly as possible. Your newsletter I just received about addiction, has really moved me... Up until I graduated high school, I considered myself to uphold my morals and values, which were abstinence, absolutely no drug, alcohol, smoking, etc. I was very active; participated in virtually every sport I could while maintaining excellent grades and also doing AP classes. 

I'm really not sure what happened.... But it seems like over night everything changed and I no longer recognized myself. At first the drug use, etc were phases. It was out of control until I realized I would likely die if I didn't get away from that life which is what I did. I called a friend and moved out of the country for quite sometime and got sober and regained control of my life.

When I came back, it started up again until I was 21 and a miracle happened, I got pregnant. (When I was 15 I was told I would likely not be able to). So again I sobered up, and it changed my life.... My childhood was virtually non existent due to circumstances that forced me to mature at a very young age,so I was determined to give her what I didn't have. I became a real estate agent and was good at it.

I won't get into details but circumstances involving my health and family back home (I moved to Seattle when I was 15 apart from my family) and long story short, I lost my daughter. I moved back to Indiana and ever sense have lost total control of my life. I don't even know really who I am anymore, I've completely alienated myself and prefer it that way. The pain I feel is so intense that I feel drugs are my only escape.... And I've become so angry and lost. Have no clue where to begin or even who to turn to and feel so alone.

Do you have any tips on how I could begin transforming my life?

Thank you again for your time,
Heather 

Hello Heather,

 

First, let me express my deepest sympathy in the lose of your daughter.  Losing a child could be considered one of the most challenging paths a person endures.  Pain and adversity challenge even the strongest of souls. 

 

The spiritual counseling provided is meant to help souls learn and grow and work toward changing an aspect of himself or herself so as to evolve the soul that exists within.  It doesn't however offer the same guidance that drug rehabilitation and counseling provided by licensed medical providers. 

 

You may want to consider a couple of suggestions so that you can work toward a path of healing.  A personal reading is a free service the website offers that is a direct communication with your soul.  The reading highlights all the strengths and weaknesses that exist for your soul, as well as highlights the many possible paths that exist for you throughout your lifetime.  I say possible, because what path one travels down is ultimately determined by the countless choices one makes, or rather how one uses the amazing gift of free will.  Another suggestion is to consider seeking professional help for your addiction.  Once the choice is made to battle addiction, the key is what steps a person takes to create a victory.  Addiction is a form of temptation and once temptation has hold of a soul, it does everything in its power to hold onto it.  However, the light is stronger than temptation and can win if one works to fight from its grasp.  This may not happen overnight, but it can happen if you want it to and decide to put effort and energy to defeat it. 

 

No matter what choices you made in the past, today is a new day and if you choose, today can be the day that you stand up and choose to create a new future for yourself.  If your life could be similar to a blank canvas and you could work to create a totally new future (similar to how an artist starts with a blank canvas and creates his or her masterpiece), where would you see yourself in 3 years?  Do you wish to be drug free and on path of your new future?  Spiritual evolution is a spiritual way of working toward any future goal, big or small.  Consider the process of spiritual evolution kind of like a "How to" harness the light and use spirituality to work toward your soul's evolution.   

 

Please feel free to write in for guidance as you learn about the information on the website.

Love and Light,

Jordan
