Three Dimensonal Aspect of Our Disease

We have a very complicated disease which consist of three aspects :-
MENTAL
PHYSICAL
SPIRITUAL

Why do we say so ?

Mentally we loose our sanity and our thinking completely goes haywire.We cannot balance our thoughts,feelings and emotions.We develop a great mental obsession with alcohol and our substance of choice , our head can think of nothing else but our choice of addiction . We spend vast amounts of time on this great obsession through which we loose everything and gain nothing.So at the end of it all we become "INSANE".This is something that has been a great problem to us addicts ,we do not have good thinking.

Physically we deteriorate completely . We become weak , our body looses it's capacity to withstand the amount of alcohol or drug's we consume and our body comes to a complete standstill and we have a complete break down . It affects our Central Nervous System(CNS).
We loose weight , Start to develop tremors , Develop immense body pain , Withdrawal symptoms without getting high , Hallucinations , the list goes on and on till we have a total collapse of our physical system which can be fatal.

Spiritually we become bankrupt . We loose our spirituality completely . We here call it "spiritual bankruptcy".We stop to fulfill our responsibilities as a father,brother,son etc. We completely go against ours and societies moral values and believes.

This is the three dimensional aspect of our our disease from the point of view of a recovering addict.
