Hang in there things are going to start to get rough for a while when we're newcomers to recovery. As they should and we know it, but still none of us like having to go through what we have to. It helps if we keep focused on the goal of wanting and having a better life. This will ease the difficulty that we all have to go through to get it. We will be amazed by all that is offered to us from us being in recovery. It's way more than we bargained for. As the benefits from being in recovery start to mount we'll not mind so much the difficulties we have to go through to get them. Then our Life will start to take on a new meaning and understanding from us being in recovery, and that little black cloud that used to follow all of us around everywhere we went, will at last be gone.
