Trevor Winn: From religion to alcoholism to finding himself.

After leaving religion, alcohol was his coping mechanism.Sitting down with Trevor Winn today. Trevor shares that he felt he left over his ego and egotistical values. Where his mind and heart were going were not in alignment with the church, Trevor felt he was living in hypocrisy.  Having some interactions with the Mormon leaders over some disciplinary council that his wife was going through, Trevor went to his wife's defense. He was told that this wasn't okay by the mormon authorities which seemed contrary to the family values that the church seemed to hold.Trevor shares that he wishes that he would have given people more credit. He made per-determined decision that certain relationships die and he burned bridges that he wishes he didn't. Leaving religion Trevor shares that he consciously let the pendulum swing and he became and alcoholic. Trevor had resentment towards the church, towards the members and he felt that he went from the addiction of Mormonism, of religion, to an addiction of alcoholism.  Connection and addiction are opposite of each other, so the cure for addiction is connections.Life is like a ball of yarn and religion is just one thread in that yarn. Sometimes we have fear about what else will be untangled if I pull this one string but it should not stop you from moving forward. When you can accept where you are at in your life, where you have been, you are now able to accept others on their path.Books Referenced: The New Earth - Eckart TolleFour Agreements - Don Miguel RuizThe Surrender Experiment - Michael SingerThe Four Agreements are: BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORDDON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLYDON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONSALWAYS DO YOUR BESTJoin us in Springdale, UT for our upcoming heart opening retreat.
