A dose of spirituality keeps 'spirits' away


Yo! Wanna kick drinking or drugs out from your system? Here is an honest to goodness reflection of an alcoholic at age 13 who managed to kick the deadly habit in his 20s. Oscar Bamuhigire knew he had to get alcoholism out from his system otherwise he will not see the morning light just like what happened to his drinking buddies. How did he do it? Follow this link here or here .

Some excerpts in his book:

"With the rare exception of that brand of psychopathological human species, which derives extreme pleasure out of being flogged on a regular basis, the natural tendency of Homo sapiens and other species is to avoid pain/ suffering, and to seek out pleasure. We are biologically programmed to avoid pain as a means of self-preservation. Because of this, we naturally seek out those experiences which bring us pleasure, and refrain from those that cause pain or suffering. We eat, drink, sleep, dress, get married, study, work, get involved in charitable activities, smoke, have sex, steal, lie, commit suicide, pray, indulge in crime, meditate, exercise, and read, among many other activities, so that we may avoid pain and suffering."
