Are you full of pain and fear; overcome by the world and its people, drugs and booze? Controlled by addiction? Your answer may lie here.
I sat crying in the Atlanta airport. My entire world—career, family, professional standing—everything, was being trashed. My priority as a physician had been my job, my job, my job. However, this way of living was killing me; alcohol and cocaine were poisoning me. My brain no longer functioned. I was in constant pain. Depression was a fog worse than the drugs and booze. I had nowhere to turn.
There was no way out. I knew with dread certainly I would spend the rest of my days chasing the dope man down a blind alley until finally a bullet would put an end to my miserable life.
Fortunately, someone took my hand and pulled me into rehab. Deep in my insanity, they kept me eight months. Yet, when I learned to listen to my heart, my life changed. I found a spiritual path—a stretch for a man who never believed in God.
This work bears no relation to James Frey, is not another tearjerker recovery tale. It delivers a practical spirituality. What is that you say? A spirituality that applies to everyday living, and brings real serenity.
Life is easy, if you do it right.
