Keywords: spirituality, sobriety, resistance, all in, gift of desperation, principles, drug use, eating disorders, addiction, sober living, law school, criminalization of addiction Takeaways Seeking validation from others can lead to risky behavior and relapse. Misusing medication can be a red flag and a slippery slope towards relapse. Having a structured program and working the steps can help in maintaining recovery. Honesty and rigorous self-reflection are crucial in the recovery process. Resistance to spirituality can hinder progress in sobriety, but being all in and embracing spirituality can be beneficial. Applying principles to drug use can help in recovery, but it's important to address other destructive behaviors as well. Eating disorders and addiction share similar compulsive patterns and can be equally destructive. Living in a sober living house can have its challenges, including dealing with difficult roommates. Dove aspires to go to law school and work on the criminalization of addiction. Titles The Importance of a Structured Program The Slippery Slope of Seeking Validation Sound Bites "I fucked it up.
