EXCERPT 9: Meditation over Medication

That’s why if you’re struggling with drugs or drinking, I really want to encourage you to give meditation a try. Trust me, the substances are going to run you into the ground and ruin you both physically and mentally. No matter how much you’d like to believe you’re different, there’s no escaping the destructive nature of drugs.

Also keep in mind that meditation is a sustainable practice. That means when you practice it, it not only helps you, but it helps the world around you too. Whereas drugs and drinking will not only destroy you, but also do serious damage to the people in your life (a sad fact that anyone who has loved an addict or substance abuser can attest to), meditation makes your connection to the people around you stronger and more loving.
