Good morning! I just saw this discussion, and haven't been able to read through them. But I just want to add that I, too, believe that spirituality can play a big part in recovery. I feel my journey to recovery has been enhanced by my belief. I went through years that I was angry with God, and at times even doubted there was one. I felt that if there was a God, then why did He allow bad things to happen. It wasn't till about four years ago that I realized that there was a God and that He was with me through out all my painful experiences, or I would not have been able to survive. I thank God every day for my life, my family, and wonderful friends. As I get older, I find that people in my life are the important things, and I'm always open to new friendships. I believe that people are put in our lives for a purpose, we may not know it at the time or may never know the real reasons, but that's ok.
Thank you for the opportunity for me to add to this discussion, I feel it is an important one....they all are important really.
