 Religion and Spirituality

====Religion and spirituality do play a significant role in many peoples lives, both in regular day to day, and in a therapeutic aspect. Most mental health professionals agree that the practice or even exploring one or the other is very beneficial. There are many many religions that offer a place of worship as well as a place to continue healing from the addictions that people face including that of cocaine use. Like wise there are many ways of thinking about life that can also be a benefit to people, with out identifying with a particular religion. Therefore there is a difference in how one plays out their recovery, but it is to lead into the same result. To better understand this we will need to identify the differences. ====

====From these two definitions we can see the similarities, except in religion there is a clear indicator that there is a recognition for the person that there is a higher being; while spirituality it is more focused on the non physical world and no real association with a specific higher being. ==== ====So with the definitions in mind we can see why these are important to healing, and in specific from recovering from cocaine use. For religion a person can draw on their belief of their deity or deities and be reassured that their life is in a higher beings care. For spirituality it works on the same principle, except their belief is not on a specific deity and more of the world around them. Either way they can draw from this power to continue to stay healthy. Although following these do not guaranty an absolute clean life from the drug, it does a person more power in their life to abstain. ====
