Would you like to understand the deeper spiritual meaning and purpose of drug addiction and alcoholism?

Your Soul's Plan eChapters: Drug Addiction and Alcoholism contains the Preface, Introduction, Chapter 1: Pre-birth Planning, and Chapter 5: Drug Addiction and Alcoholism from Robert Schwartz's best-selling spirituality book, Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born. This special eChapter tells the true stories of a man who planned before he was born to experience decades of alcoholism and a woman and her son who together planned the son's drug addiction, and it explains why these individuals courageously chose to have such difficult experiences.

Before we are born, we ourselves plan great challenges in order to foster our own spiritual growth and the growth of the people we love. This inspirational, healing, and deeply thought-provoking eChapter speaks to our heartfelt desire to know: What is the deeper spiritual meaning of drug addiction and alcoholism? Why do drug addiction and alcoholism occur? What can we learn, and how can we grow, as a result of these experiences?

After sharing their personal stories, the individuals in this eChapter have sessions with gifted mediums and channels in which Schwartz asks Spirit, "Were these experience planned before birth, and if so, why?" The great love and wisdom that come forth from "the other side" help us to understand the spiritual purposes of drug addiction and alcoholism. This eChapter also beautifully explains why some of us choose before we're born to have parents, siblings, children, or spouses who will experience drug addiction or alcoholism.

If you or someone you love is struggling with drug addiction or alcoholism, an awareness of pre-birth planning will empower you to transform any feelings of victimization, anger, sadness, or confusion into acceptance, understanding, and peace. Suffering that once seemed purposeless will become imbued with deep meaning.

The full edition of Your Soul's Plan also explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, parenting handicapped children, deafness, blindness, the death of a loved one, and severe accidents. Individual Your Soul's Plan eChapters are available under the following titles: Physical Illness; Parenting Handicapped Children; and Death of a Loved One.
