Its my ego that put's me in conflict with the world. Screwed up or sane - the more I try to push my will on the world - the more stress I bring to my life. My way brought me to addiction - and addiction brought me to my knees. Thankfully - there were people there to show me another way. The Principles and Ways of Recovery from addiction give me a path to follow - to rise above the nonesense that fills my head - and that puts me in touch with a spiritual experience of life. LIfe continues to happen - and I continue to think that it should go my way. But things just keep getting better - as I follow the steps - and get my self out of the way of my recovery.
