Spiritual Sobriety, Addicted to Outcome Part 1

 What happens when we give up our attachments to outcomes? In active addiction, we become fiercely dependent upon outcomes. Dependent! Now, in recovery, are we still as attached to outcomes as we ever were? I know it’s not the the same thing, active addiction is very unhealthy in every way, but still, do we become addicted to…dependent upon…attached to…outcomes in a similar way? What happens if we just live our lives pursuing our passions and serving humanity and allowing the cards to fall wherever they fall? I’m not saying to not set goals or to not have any direction, but I am saying to not be “attached” to an outcome.  maybe we should be more like water and choose the path of least resistance and see where it leads us. That sounds like an exciting life, but certainly not for the faint of heart, but it isn’t entirely different than living in active addiction day to day, either. Living this way would certainly appeal to our more adventurous sides, our more carefree, “living in the moment” sides of ourselves. So what? Life is short, extremely short if you truly believe that we are eternal, that we are here for an extremely short period of time to gain some sort of experience and then be on our way. Quite possibly, that explains our journey through addiction, and then recovery, and finally living sober. Maybe we are here to assist someone else, someone we are connected with “out there.”  Now there’s something to think about.<br/> This episode made me realize that this is topic I rally want to explore a lot more so it’s becoming at least a 2-parter, very possibly a series. Let’s see where it goes. Love you all!Support the show
