“I felt like I was traveling in the dark,” he said. “Whenever something tragic occurred as the result of my drinking I would stop, with a firm resolve not to drink again for the rest of my life. But I would drink again and again. It was only when I finally got to A.A. that I began to step into the light.”
Once the soul awakens, the search begins, and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment.
— John O’Donohue
You may be suffering from an illness which only a spiritual experience will conquer.
