Episode 11 - Donald Lee - Not quite addicted - How alcohol insidiously crept into my life

Like many people, spiritual author and speaker Donald Lee has had an on-again/off-again relationship with alcohol during his life. Sometimes he has controlled alcohol, sometimes it has controlled him. In this wide-ranging interview, Donald talks about his recurrent struggles with alcohol, how it fit into his life-long spiritual quest, and what has helped him to get back in control. Millions of people who are, like Donald “not quite addicted, but not quite in control either” will find his journey and his struggles meaningful.

Donald Lee is a spiritual author and inspirational speaker but also a musician, teacher, and band director. Drawing on his varied professional experience and life-long spiritual quest, Donald uses music as a metaphor for spiritual growth. With his writing and speaking, Donald helps people to see life “through spiritual eyes” to make their experience of life deeper, richer, and more meaningful. His first book was published in 2019: The Band Director’s Lessons About Life: Volume 1 – Parables on Life’s Performance Cycle. It is a book of modern-day parables, with stories inspired by his teaching experience. Here is an excerpt:

“One revelation on our spiritual journey is that what you seek is already right here with you—before you even start your journey. A second is that the world does not change by your journey. You change—and thus you see the world differently. Then you are able to see that what you seek is right before you. It always was. You always had it. Because what you seek is within you, not without you. So the spiritual journey is always a journey inward. The outward journey is just to show you yourself as reflected in the faces and places you visit.”
