That Post Addiction Recovery Spiritual Awakening Thing We Do

 In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we look back on a couple things we’ve talked about in the past. In particular, how when we do finally kick addiction and begin living a sober lifestyle most of us seem to find spirituality. We begin exploring our spiritual awakening and in a lot of cases (like mine) it stems from some profound experience we had while in an overdose. When I was in active addiction, I had a particular relapse where I had been sober a couple weeks but then caved in and bought some drugs. The overdose that ensued was a severe as it can be and still survive.  Afterward, I realized that I had been conscious but not in my body while I was in that overdosed state. This happens to a lot of addicts and then, when we get sober, we find ourselves searching for answers. We turn to religion and philosophy but those things never seem to do it….until we find pure spirituality.
