The Spiritual River is written by Patrick Meninga, a recovering drug addict and alcoholic who has been clean and sober now for over 7 years and counting.

My personal philosophy of recovery is that the recovering addict needs to go beyond mere abstinence from chemicals, and even further beyond a spiritual solution and pursue the full creative life in recovery.

The creative life in recovery involves a holistic approach that is wide enough to encompass the 12 step program but does not necessarily require it. The point is in finding passion and purpose in a creative new life in recovery without drugs and alcohol.

The Spiritual River website is all about defining this creative life and in showing people how to achieve it.
