A New Way Out

There ?s a new way out of addictions, alcoholism, and life-controlling problems. Disappointed and discouraged, many today would abandon A.A., 12 Step programs, treatment, and therapy because of low success rates. But there is a far better way: look to the history, principles, and practices of early A.A. with its documented 75% to 93% success rate among medically incurable alcoholics who really tried. That?s when A.A. did work.Also, look to the history, principles, and practices of the world-wide societies which spawned A.A. ideas and were highly effective?the Salvation Army, the Rescue and Gospel Missions, United Christian Endeavor Society, Young Men?s Christian Association. You will see a common thread. You?ll see it in early A.A. too. And this book will tell you about it. Then, look to the history, principles, and practices of churches, clergy, para-church, Christ-centered, and Christian recovery programs. Look to the histories of healing by religious means. It dates from the Old Testament and follows through to today. When people relied upon the Creator, accepted Christ, called upon God in Jesus? name for cure, and believed, they received. A New Way Out leads to the power of God, the name of Jesus Christ, the love of God and neighbor, and serving others. It applauds the good things in A.A. and 12 Step programs. It respects the good things in religion. It grounds you in the historical elements of recovery by the power of God and then points you to support groups and church armed as you will be with those elements of each that worked in the earliest days, and those that don?t work today.

One Way Out: A Middle-class New-Englander Emigrates to America is a book by William Carleton, an Irish writer and novelist. It is a social history of the United States from 1865 to 1918, based on Carleton's own experiences as an immigrant.

The partisan divide in the United States has widened to a chasm. Legislators vote along party lines and rarely cross the aisle. Political polarization is personal, too—and it is making us miserable. Surveys show that Americans have become more fearful and hateful of supporters of the opposing political party and imagine that they hold much more extreme views than they actually do. We have cordoned ourselves off: we prefer to date and marry those with similar opinions and are less willing to spend time with people on the other side. How can we loosen the grip of this toxic polarization and start working on our most pressing problems? The Way Out offers an escape from this morass. The social psychologist Peter T. Coleman explores how conflict resolution and complexity science provide guidance for dealing with seemingly intractable political differences. Deploying the concept of attractors in dynamical systems, he explains why we are stuck in this rut as well as the unexpected ways that deeply rooted oppositions can and do change. Coleman meticulously details principles and practices for navigating and healing the difficult divides in our homes, workplaces, and communities, blending compelling personal accounts from his years of working on entrenched conflicts with lessons from leading-edge research. The Way Out is a vital and timely guide to breaking free from the cycle of mutual contempt in order to better our lives, relationships, and country.

This remarkable book speaks deeply to your soul and reminds you of how interconnected we all are. It calls to us to waken from our unconscious ways. We as a collective have become disconnected from our sacred values, principals and laws that we are all governed by. Humanity cannot keep operating with the same beliefs and behaviors if we want to live spiritually abundant lives and have a healthy planet. It’s time for a change! The Only Way Out Is In weaves a vision for not only our personal lives but also our collective lives. It reveals how we are evolving and illuminates how we are undergoing an internal shift with planetary consequences. The environmental impact of our choices is having devastating effects. The polarized way we live is endangering us all through a massive imbalance that we have created. We are responsible for how we conduct ourselves and how we contribute while we are here. We have a unique window to come together as a planetary community for individual and global awakening. Author Terri Lyn Morehu brings attention to the plight of the planet and takes us on a journey into the human potential. With deep compassion, she lights a torch, guiding the reader through sacred truths to understand not only our emotional terrain but also our spiritual wisdom. She speaks to the soul, stirring the knowledge that we are extraordinary beings and that we live in one of the most transformative periods in history. She reminds us why we were born and what we came here to do. The Only Way Out Is In has the ability to release you from suffering and guide you through to experience the inner shift that your soul has long been searching for.

Creating a Way Out is meant to help the individual focus on day-to-day encounters by learning to let their spiritual side guide them through the unknown and unexpected events that will occur in a day. Trying to overcome day-to-day stresses is sometimes more than what we are capable of bearing alone. Each of us deals with day-to-day occurrences differently. What may work for one day may not work for the next. I have encountered different types of stressors— physical, mental, and emotional. I tried to physically confront my stressor but found myself more drained and filled with despair because things didn’t turn out like I wanted them to. They would change as the day went on, leaving me with a sense of not knowing what to do next. That’s when I learned that trying to do battle with my illness was not something I could do alone. I needed someone or something to be with me always if I were ever to survive this hurdle in life. One of the best messages I learned was the statement “It’s not by work but by grace.” This statement is confusing at first because everything we learn from a physical point of view teaches that things in life are gained by hard work or chance. But from a spiritual or emotional prospective, that’s not how it works. You are spiritually blessed, which means graced. Or from an emotional standpoint, you give acceptance or receive acceptance, which is a type of grace. That’s why we must let the spiritual part of us deal with our day-to-day activities without our physical interference. We may create a brighter day for ourselves. Sure, you’re asking yourself how we cannot interfere with one’s spiritual self, day in, and day out. The answers to that question can be found in Creating a Way Out by living one day at a time. Understand that creating a way out is not a book on religion. It’s not a book on mental psychology. Creating a Way Out is a day-by-day map of what works for me, and it did work for me. So I give to you Creating a Way Out 365 Days a Year one day at a time. There are several ways to use this book on your travels throughout your adventure in life. • You can use it by opening it page by page like in the normal process of reading. • You can wake up in the morning and, without looking at the page, ask yourself what’s on your mind, open the book to a page without looking at the page number. It will make a reference to your thoughts. • You may have someone tell you something they are struggling with, open the book to a page, and if they are sincere and truly believe it can help, it will. I am sure there are other uses for the book as well. Let the spiritual side in you guide you to the many uses of this book. May you be blessed in so many ways as I have. R. L. Leonard
