Paul's message for today isn't how to lessen that struggle. Instead, he wants you to accept it, own it and embrace it.   Unlike many other ailments, where the ideal outcome is to get back where you were, an alcohol addiction allows us to blow past that. We can not only heal from it, but we can be catapulted into a much healthier way of living. This time can be an intense chapter of growth, where you'll emerge with more depth and understanding of yourself and others when you hit the other side.   Be patient, trust the process, own it and befriend it. Turn your struggle into your greatest strength. Not many get to do that with their problems.     [05:30] Paul introduces Amy:   Amy is 43 years old, lives in Santa Ynez, CA, h
