Hello, my name is Henry Reed and I'm a recovering intellectual.

And from what addiction are you recovering your spirituality?

The "recovery movement" has spread to almost every human weakness. In a similar fashion people are recycling spirituality out of most any form of garbage (e.g., "How I lost the lottery but found God"). There's a good reason for these developments. Our attachments, especially recovering from our attachments, can teach us about spirituality. For extra credit, we learn the larger lesson that within most every adversity there is a spiritual teacher ready to initiate the sufferer.
