Having grown up as the child of an alcoholic parent, I experienced first hand the damage and destruction alcoholism caused to our family. I never really understood the why's and how's, but always wished there was something more I could do to help.
Despite promising myself that I'd never let that happen to me ... soon enough I had my own struggles with drugs and alcohol ... and spent years descending the pit of my worsening addiction until I eventually lost the will to live.
There was however always a little voice in the back of my mind telling me that there had to be more to life than this and that there had to be a way out ...
Eventually, I found myself in Rehab and managed to come clean, and have ever since committed to a life of growth and self discovery because I promised myself I'd never let myself get to that place again.
That was October 2001 - and as I've gained in knowledge & experience since, I feel like it has become my mission to help pass on some of what I've learned to make your journey that bit easier ... and so that you don't make all the same mistakes I did.
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Carl-Peter Lehmann
My favourite all time quote is by Marianne Williamson from her book, 'A Return to Love.'
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to
be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the
world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as
children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is
within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let
our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to
do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others"
It's often used and quoted, but I don't think that it takes anything away from its beauty, power and significance. If you attempt to shine everyday as she suggests, your life can't help but improve beyond recognition.
When it comes to dealing with and understanding addiction, I think Andrew Weil, MD sums it up brilliantly in his book, 'Natural Health, Natural Medicine:'
"Addiction is NOT a psychological or pharmacological problem, and CANNOT be solved by the methods of psychology or pharmacology.
It is, at root, a SPIRITUAL concern, because it represents a misdirected attempt to achieve wholeness, to experience
inner completeness and satisfaction."
I totally share his philosophy and that's why a lot of what I've written with regards to understanding, treating and recovering from Addiction, is done from a spiritual perspective.
Amongst other favourite authors include Dan Millman, Paulo Coelho, Neale Donald Walsch to name but a few.
