The Humane Spectrum

Individuals suffering with addiction are more than their demons or wounds. In other words, they are more than their egos. A psychospiritual context espouses this absolute: addicts (just like you and I) are spiritual beings forced to resolve a psychological existence. Perfect in their imperfections, they have yet to learn that their dis-ease is self-correcting in nature, which is true for every human being. This does not have to be stigmatized, but rather embraced with compassion. In other words, we (and addicts) need to be suffered awake. While the debate raves on that addiction is a brain disease, we are missing the co-occurring problem that addiction is accompanied by significant psychological dis-ease.
