ABSTRACT

Many years ago, I heard a chaplain give a presentation exploring the intersection between spirituality and addiction, and he defined spirituality as whatever gives your life meaning. This definition has always resonated for me because it casts such a wide, non-judgmental net and offers you the freedom to look at spirituality through your unique worldview. Living a spiritual life can be as profound as the existential contemplation of being or possibly enjoying an intimate afternoon with your beloved pet.

In this chapter you’ll investigate limitless possibilities as you consider such themes as meaning, purpose, and legacy. Compulsive sex took you far away from yourself. By reclaiming your passions, priorities, and purpose, you’ll stimulate your quest for meaning however you define it in your recovery today.
