Joy

Happiness is a feeling that is triggered by an external experience, such as finding money on the ground or when you land that job promotion, while joy originates from within.

Joy is a return to the deep harmony of body, mind, and the spirit that was yours at birth and that can be yours again. Once this has been recaptured, there is no need for stimulants, depressants, or anything else that must be bought, hidden, injected, inhaled, turned on, or turned off. You needed none of these things in childhood, when a sunny day and the love of your family was enough to fill you with joy. That openess to love, that capacity for wholeness with the world around you, is still within you. If addiction has been a part of your life for some time, you may feel it is impossible to regain your pre-addicted self. But it IS possible. In fact, it's inevitable, when you let go of guilt and recrimation and begin to bring joyful experiences into your life!!!!
