The Seven Spiritual Steps to Sobriety
The Seven Spiritual Steps to Sobriety is the foundation of Soul of an Addict. We consider these steps spiritual, which does not necessarily mean religious. Although the steps were created with addiction and codependency in mind, they are life principals that can truly empower anyone with the ability to make long and lasting changes in their life.
Step 1 - To admit that I have an addiction and to humbly recognize the power it has over my life.
Step 2 - To accept responsibility for my own life, regardless of how I got here.
Step 3 - To seek the help I need to become empowered to conquer my addiction.
Step 4 - To consciously surrender the negativity of my past and create a spiritual life plan focused on a positive future.
Step 5 - To develop a relationship with my Spiritual Self by connecting with my Third Voice, the voice of my soul.
Step 6 - To honor my sobriety by realizing I have the power to choose, and I choose to have the courage to abstain from cross-addiction.
Step 7 - To make a positive difference in the world by sharing, with humility, the wisdom I have gained through my spiritual sobriety.
The 7 steps, and the philosophy behind the steps, and how to implement them in your life, are contained in a manuscript called "The Soul of an Addict" and the "7 Spiritual Steps to Sobriety." The manuscript is a rough draft that has been proof read, and is now in the final stages of editing before the publishing goal of December 2009. The manuscript is available for a suggested donation of $15.00. All proceeds from the donations are returned to the "Soul of an Addict" spiritual recovery project. The Manuscript offers a practical approach to working what we call a "spiritual recovery program." We know, in time, it undoubtedly will be altered prior to publishing. We hope you will enjoy it exactly as it is :) More information will be made available on this website shortly, otherwise, please contact Lenni for more information at either keytolifecenter@aol.com, or soulofanaddict@aol.com.
The 7 Spiritual Steps to Sobriety are contained in the "Soul of an Addict" book which is nearly complete. The manuscript version of the steps will also be published separately. Of course we have BIG dreams and visions for the success of this mission! Owning an original manuscript will be a very special piece of history someday:) Get yourself, and someone you love, a copy before they're gone!
