…The dirty word no one wants to hear – especially not those who struggle from addiction. Is it food, sex, drugs, rock and roll, gambling or alcohol you crave? Well why don’t you just stop? Should you stop? Must you stop?

If you could wave a magic wand and make that world reality what would it look like? If this vision includes an excess of your vices, you may want to consider the reason. If your vision does not include your vice, this should cause contemplation as well.  What would the healthy YOU tell yourself about the proper vision of your future?
