We jested earlier on this evening about being addited to this forum,but addiction is difficult to recover from. On Wednesday I was on a course for Community Development and among the people on the course were two Recovering Addicts , I was amazed at the amount of compassion these guys had , considering the suffering they had both endured....So for Steve and Derek and all sufferers of Addiction .........I send Love , Healing and Good Health .
May your lives be long and fruitful

Hello oakapple
We jested earlier on this evening about being addited to this forum
May I just make it very clear to everyone that NO ONE was jesting in THIS forum, Healing & Prayers, about the subject of addiction.
You are, I believe, referring to a post you made in the Addictions forum:

where you were, if I understand correctly, referring to HealthyPages as a whole?

RE: addiction
but addiction is difficult to recover from.
Speaking from personal experience, addiction is very difficult to suffer with, but not so difficult to recover from;)
What I mean by this statement is that addiction is astategy that we implement on an unconscious level, to fulfil a need (or multiple needs) that are not being met. Once we review what addiction gives us versus what our own sense ofvolition gives us, and find other ways to meet our needs, it all becomes much easier.
Recovering from addiction is much less painful than it will have you believe! In fact, it's only difficult and painful when the addiction is talking. When you are in a calm, non-emotionally aroused state and you are aware of the benefits of being in control, the decision really isn't hard.
Nevertheless, healing thoughts are very much needed for everybody, including those suffering with addictions. To know that we are cherished by others in the world around us, and gain a sense of community is a huge factor in recovery.

Sending Steve and Derek lots of love and positive thoughts for their future and Reiki energy to all those who wish to kick an addiction.
