Thank you for referring me to this piece! My personal definition of spirituality is living with your spirit. I've always said its not a higher power, its an inner power. I, too, desire to help change the stigma of substance use and trauma responses. A ton of your ideas and thoughts are in sync with my definitions of mindfulness and changing our mindset. Lastly, I once wrote a book about how I use the characters and symbols from the Wizard of Oz for each of the twelve steps. Glinda is my inner guide! And my negative self-talk were the flying monkeys! Kudos to you and your life work
