Gary Zukav of "Seat of the Soul", says that our addictions are the place of the greatest opportunities for growth. I believe he's right.

My biggest addictions are those two glasses of wine at night. Socially acceptable maybe, but I know they are helping me to sedate the loneliness that strikes every day at that same time. I've quit for many years...and only replaced the wine with something else. Ultimately, the inner emptiness needs to be healed.

I keep working at it...it's about truly developing a relationship with one's self. Deeply. Not just a surface fix...but a deep, personal and for me, spiritual relationship to one's source and self.

And it goes on... maybe forever.
