Spiritual Awakening
We will not win the war against drugs until we overcome the demand. People who do not feel good want to feel good. And as long as feeling good is the driving force in people's lives, people will take chemicals to get that feeling. There is an alternate goal, which we refer to as a spiritual awakening when we come to an awareness there is more to life than providing our body with physical contentment. Finding a goal in life other than simply feeling good does not require being devoutly religious. With the alternate goal of spirituality, people are much less likely to resort to chemicals.
