Asking for guidance<br \/>\nis imperative in recovery.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>We don&#8217;t<br \/>\nalways have the answers in the physical world but down deep in the spiritual<br \/>\nworld, those are the answers you can trust. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Listen To Your Dreams<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I was never a big believer in dreams.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>Now I truly believe they too hold the answers<br \/>\nto our intuition.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>Ask yourself before<br \/>\nyou go to bed a question that needs an answer that in the physical world it can&#8217;t<br \/>\nbe answered.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>It can only appear in your<br \/>\nspiritual world.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>That is where all the<br \/>\nanswers from the universe can be heard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">To receive my Free Relapse Prevention gift, go to sgabatherapy.com and scroll down.&nbsp;
