Having lost one daughter to her addiction ( she was VERY happy with 12 step recovery programs and seemed to really have a handle on her spirituality-until she didn't and then ultimately passed waiting for a Suboxone script) and another daughter who has (coming up on 15 years clean) had seemingly relatively good success with programs, but I still wonder about the addict mindset. I've been in Al-Anon for over 40 years and it has brought me to many modalities and spiritual knowings including Shaman, buddhist teachings, Native American teachings and more-- and that continues to this day. I appreciate your sharing and have shared them with family in recovery. I think there are many paths to recovery and YES, it can be quite tricky to "know" when it is denial or truth for yourself. Thank you!!
