The games addiction plays

Over the years I have witnessed many games that addicts and alcoholics play. I use to work in Denver as a case manager and addition counselor. MY job consisted mainly of being a taxi taking people to and from meetings, halfway houses and jail. I worked as a group facilitator for awhile at Arapahoe house. At that time I had only lived with one alcoholic, and was the product of a crazy mother due to her relationship with my father. I never lived with my father so I didn't get the full affect of how all the co dependent behavior worked. I didn't make it long as a counselor in house because it was apparent that I had never been nor would I be an alcoholic, but I had lots of book smarts. Since then I have had the opportunity to live with a serious pot head,. The love of my life for a minute had every addiction you could think of except gambling. That only lasted 3 years. I have lived with a perscription drug addict. One of the things that I have learned is that the games are all the same. Some more violent but than others but all of them are incidious. I have labeled some of the games. please add to the list if you would like..
1 its not me its you
2 my parent made me do it
3 I am sick, broke and pitiful
4 you must be cheating on me
5 retribution
6 flat out lie and believe it

Awakening to your authentic self

We are waking up to the inner light that we truly are. Our body houses our essence, and when we truly get in touch with our light and allow it free reign in our body/mind, we ignite those that we love to do the same. In the course of seeking spirituality we often begin to feel like we must share what we know with our friends and family. It is positive human nature to want to share what you consider to be good with those you love, but it really can't be done the way we usually try to do it. There is a yearning to be a preacher and and a teacher that comes directly from Spirit. Traditional Religions were attempting to light the way for those still unaware of the spiritual essence of life, but they got lost in the egoic need to be right, Not to mention the dark political agenda that has been attached to what was once, hopefully an attempt at goodwork. In truth the spiritual journey is something you show others by your own works. It is the greater essence of your being that others will respond to, not your words. When you embrace more light/love energy and become at peace within your own body/mind, that you will inspire others energetically. There are no words that come close to being as effective.
