The fellowships falsely believes that addiction is a disease, not a symptom.

The fellowships falsely believes that addiction is a disease, not a symptom. This may be comforting for some, but it is not true. Addiction is not the disease: the unenlightened family is the disease. Addicts were not born so: they were created. They use themselves into oblivion not because of bad genetics but because of the traumas resulting from childhood abuse, neglect, and rejection. No one raised in a truly loving home – whatever his chromosomes – could become an addict. No one who had full connection with his true self – a fully non-traumatized person – would ever even want to experience even the mildest of dissociative pleasures of using at all.

The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives. #childwithin#10stages
