Hi
I notice well intended advice on alcoholism ie in essence it is suggested to find something that will give equal pay value and be positive.
Unfortunately have been a peforming alcholic I can say it isent quite that simple.
12 steps of AA work for a lot of people.
In simplicity alcoholism is a mental physical and spiritual illness so these thee parts must be addressed.
When one stops drinking all the character defects that in part led to excessive drinking are still there and have to be removed or drinking will resume.

Between lives,
When a Sage dies the energy is still available. We may perhaps find prayer to Jesus helpful for example.
When we die according to Dr Hawkins we gravitate automatically to a realm concordant with our spiritual energy. It therefore "pays" to be kind and forgiving as each thought and action raises or lowers our vibration.
Seems also that to begin with we move temporalily to the heaven of our dreams. That may be brought about by the brain still functioning at some level as we go through the death process.
Some can remember being in between lives I cant. Enough to process in this one.

The problem of delving into any ngativity is that its a can of worms,, no end to it.
So its better to process context rather than content.

Ie the belief that there is an enemy out there covers a multitude of sins.
So if that belief is surrendered at great depth to God then a mass of negativity is delt with. You have to surrender like you mean it--- so to speak.

Realize its a bit of topic but it may be helpful.
