Addiction recovery process
Today, I learned the 12 steps technique for an addiction recovery in the Psychosynthesis class. I wrote an article about my addiction to using Inter Net yesterday, so I was surprised at this synchronicity!
My teacher told us the various definitions of addiction and each steps. Especially, my teacher showed us the step two in detail. Step two is a spiritual step and the way to practice its step is the following.
1 Choose 1-2 pictures from the picture collection that represent your Higher Power, or Deeper Self, True Self, etc. Develop a connection with the image. I chose a picture which showed a baby surrounded by beautiful tulips. For me, it represented my natural healing power.
2 Shift attention to focusing on the addiction. Become aware of its impact in your life. Then draw it. I’m sorry that the attached picture which I draw in the class is a little bit grotesque.
3 Shift attention to picture representing Higher Power. Let it have a voice. Ask for direction.
After the above exercise, we shared our own addiction. I won’t share my addiction in detail, but I have used a steroid cream for my atopy since I was 2 or 3 years old. Now, I try to reduce the volume of the medicine. That is because a steroid cream doesn’t cure atopy completely and it’s like a quick fix medicine, and I want to cure my disease using a human natural power not depending on artificial materials too much. I’m interested in addiction recovery process, so I’ll learn this and the other steps more.
