We who have damaged spirits don't usually know that is where our disturbance is coming from. We'll try everything to fix ourselves but by not knowing where it is that our pain is coming from nothing works. We'll remain miserable until we address our spiritual problem that we do have. This has been proven over and over again and again nothing else works there is no other way. Recovery is a way that allows us to heal our damaged spirit. For those of us who have come to believe that's where our problem is. Once anyone has that belief and tries the program of recovery we're always amazed that it works to quiet that disturbance that allows us to know peace usually for the first time.
