RUNAWAY SLAVE

A journey to embrace, explore, and honor the Freedom and Power inherent in active recovery.



No more shame...

No more shackles....

No more secrets.



The path--and the Power--are within. Be Free.

Do you treat the surface or the core?


What is addiction?
Trying to fill a void.
Running from the frightening.
Losing ourselves.

So what causes void?
Absence.
Lack of appreciation....compassion...
love....confidence....fulfillment.

And those things can't come from outside
sources, lest we always be dependent.

We need a source of inspiration--
and unless we transform into that
self-sustaining source, learning to provide
for ourselves, we will always be seeking.

Behind the addiction is the reason for the addiction.

The past brought us to where we are...

but our present self can be whatever we determine.

****

Knowing where to look


STRENGTH--

It's within you...

not a room full of strangers,
a book,
or some intangible outside presence..

Tap into it--
Discover it--
Today.
