This document attempts to give some shape and definition to the term spirituality as it relates to the addiction and recovery of chemically dependent persons and co-dependents. Positive and negative spirituality are discussed and addiction and "hitting bottom" are described. A variety of spiritual issues that are a part of the recovery process are enumerated: (1) detachment, forgiveness, and serenity; (2) a higher power initiates and empowers recovery; (3) the dark side of the self; (4) the process of conversion; (5) the spiritual guide; and (6) recovery as a journey homeward. Finally, a comprehensive approach for emphasizing spirituality within an inpatient treatment setting of 21-28 days is suggested. The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are appended. Notes, works cited, and an eight-page bibliography are included. (NB)
