In the grand journey of life, my relationship with an alcoholic and addict is what moved me out of balance. My spiritual teacher once told me that if something was bigger than you, it could consume you.And this relationship did.

My spiritual quest for many years led me through Christianity, Sufism, Buddhism, a Masters Degree in Comparative Religion and finally to a modern mystery school. I was initiated into higher realms of consciousness and gained many gifts of insight, clarity, and wisdom. So the fact that my interactions with this seriously addicted man challenged my serenity was significant.

More importantly, though, was the fact that I found the support of Al-Anon. The twelve principles are universal in nature and not limited to someone else's conception of god. That became critical to me as I began recovery from an abusive relationship.

So, the delving into the self, those egoic issues that kept me on the wrong side of the street, began again in earnest. Self-discovery is an ongoing journey and through the honest support of friends and family, I hope to become whole again and enjoy the plateau.
