Welcome to the Homepage of Why I Pray In The Shower
May what you read here be of help in finding greater happiness in your life. Despite the fact that I really do pray in the shower, I’m not a religious person, and this isn’t a religious book. It’s simply about my search for happiness, and what I found. The subtitle is “A Journey from Fear to Belief in Myself.” I added this because it helps describe my life, and because I didn’t want to scare anyone away who doesn’t believe in god. I feel the true believer, the agnostic, and the atheist can find comfort in reading my book, and see that it’s possible to find true happiness without drugs and alcohol. I also wrote about my experience with Alcoholics Anonymous and The Twelve Steps. Although I no longer call myself a member, or agree with everything written in the literature, I will always be grateful for AA and The Twelve Steps. Not only did going to meetings and practicing the Steps help me to stay sober, but it also helped me to become a stronger and happier person until I was able to do so on my own. Of course there are other alternatives for people with drug and alcohol dependencies to get help, but unfortunately there’s also the shame and stigma associated with addiction that keeps many people from seeking any help at all. Being open and honest with others about my life led to a helpful and healing experience in my sobriety, and I hope sharing my story aids in the effort to remove the shame and stigma that sadly still surrounds addiction today. By working with alcoholics, addicts, and troubled teenagers I found a passion to help others. And through self-actualization I realized it was my true purpose in life. I now have the chance to do so with my book, my blog, and Creating Our Path.
