With me spirituality kind of became another crutch/drug to hide behind.
I'd do nothing but listen to spiritual teachings all day, instead of going out and trying to deal with life. Don't get me wrong, spirituality can be very good, but in moderation, and at one point I just have to let go of it and actually bring things into practice. But I never did that, so I now recognize it's just another form of addictive escapism really for me.
Spirituality should be about connecting to life, and to bring an end to a restless mind and suffering, but it can become out of balance very fast if you use it as a crutch. There should really be a balance between doing and thinking.
