Dallas Bragg describes a spiritual recovery framework where setting a heartfelt intention like quitting crystal meth creates a divine pathway to that goal. The path includes unexpected tests: relapses, family crises, divorce, death. Your job is to trust it's working, not to control it.
So let me help you change perspective on how recovery works. When you set a heart's desire for something, let's, let's say I want more peace or I want more money. When you ask for that, there is a divine path that is created immediately that gets you from where you are to where you want to be. That path is way beyond your or mine understanding. So when you want to, when you say I want to be abstinent from crystal meth, The path to that goal, that vision, is already set. So just like when you say, I want to have peace in my life, that may require a major test on your part. It may require a divorce or a breakup. It may require a death in the family. It may require something for you to have to go through to learn something about yourself, to clear out something so that you can have peace in your life. But when you're going through those things, you think, hey, I said I wanted peace and this is what I'm getting. This is wrong. This is not the path to what I want. You do not design the path. Your only job is to have certainty that what you asked for is coming to pass. So when you ask to be abstinent from crystal meth, you have no idea the test you'll be put through. You may have to relapse a couple of times. You may have to address something that doesn't even seem like it has anything to do with crystal meth, like a family situation. You are going to go through tests that seem like you're not progressing, but you're always moving forward on the path.
