Recovering into Reality:A new treatment paradigm for recovery we acknowledge that Addicts/alcoholics are not born so: we are created. We drink /use ourselves into oblivion not because of bad genetics but because of the traumas resulting from childhood abuse, neglect, and rejection. No one raised in a truly loving home – whatever his chromosomes – could become an alcoholic/addict. No one who had full connection with his true self – a fully non-traumatised person – would ever even want to experience even the mildest of dissociative pleasures of drinking alcohol at all.
By denying this reality we protect the abusive parents. But more so it protects alcoholics themselves from feeling their deeper pain, because anyone who learns the full truth of his parents’ cruelties is in for a horribly painful ride. Denying this truth may prevent some from relapsing, but it will prevent everyone from becoming fully enlightened.
Avoiding the deepest levels of pain is part of our mentality. We replace the depression of the alcoholic/addict with the grandiosity and dissociation of so-called recovery. This is a spiritual step backwards. We have been programmed to believe that full spirituality is attainable by simply admitting the damage you’ve done to others and making amends. This is untrue. Admitting your past wrongs does lessen the cycle of guilt and shame, but does not resolve our own traumas – the damage done to you by your parents. Traumas must be addressed and fully grieved and mourned for deeper healing to take place.
Any program, that thinks you can heal without fully exhuming, grieving, and ultimately healing your traumas is siding with your abusive parents and perpetuating the addictive cycle of self-delusion.https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Stages/1403170389989203
