Your Spiritual Growth In A Treatment Facility

By Elliot Knowls


One of the hardest life lessons in a drug and alcohol treatment facility is the amount of spiritual growth that you have to go through. It is important to know how important it is to grow spiritually. The reason why many people are addicted to drug and alcohol is because they are struggling to understand that a higher power loves them. A higher power is often a God that has disappointed the person that is doing drugs. Drug addiction has a lot to do with irresponsible living or feeling like nobody cares.

This is not easy to live with since a lot of people today believe that God does not love them. When someone feels this, they tend to go within and blame themselves and other people for their problems. One of the hardest life lessons for a person to learn in treatment is that they are not in control. In fact, they may find it to be hard in learning more about themselves. If find it interesting that a lot of people today find their spiritual growth to be difficult. It is mainly due to the fact that they are not spending enough time praying or reading a spiritual book.

You may look at the life of Bill Wilson and understand that he was in a position in which he had to change his own life. It was a hard part for him to look back on his life and feel like something had to change. Change happens when we least expect and we often don't know or even understand why something happens to us. Bill Wilson was able to turn to his faith when it came to overcoming his addictions. It is important to understand that addiction is a powerful force of our times. We are addicted to things that come naturally to us.

When you look back at the steps that you have taken in becoming sober, you begin to feel a sense of relief. We can be happy when we take time out of our busy schedules to look at life a little bit more differently. I find it interesting when we want freedom from our pain and addiction. When we find hope again, our minds begin to channel in on what we know to be true.

In my opinion, life tends to happen for the better. We tend to look at our past and see that we have grown from it. When you are in rehab, you begin to feel like God does care about you. For some, it takes multiple attempts before being completely sober. Most addicts like to feel like they are in charge and can do whatever they feel like. When you enter treatment, you begin to learn more about yourself and what matters to your life.
