The Hurting

[roverl0616]

We all are so full of hurt and so worn out by having to carry it with us all the time by the time we all get to recovery, but very few of us have any idea why we are hurting the way all of us are. We all have made the same mistakes that will lead anyone to hurting the way we all do and we're all unaware of making these mistakes or thinking that this was any of our doing that's causing all of us to hurt this way, but it is because of this for all of us without exception. Recovery will repair the hurt that's in all of us that all of us are inflicting upon ourselves if we will all let it. This is done by all of us agreeing to do the things it teaches us to do, or we can go on hurting, or try to find some other way to stop the hurt. This choice is left up to all of us to make. No one is going to make anyone do the process of recovery. We all have to be willing to want to do this for ourselves which is where all of us who have stopped the hurting began when we come into recovery. Don't make that final fatal mistake of thinking that this hurting can never go away, it can and does for those of us in recovery it will. Just look around in recovery where there are people who understand how awful the hurting is, and who have found a way to no longer hurt like that any more. We all can choose this for ourselves, and anyone who does can begin to learn how to stop the pain that comes from hurting the way we all do, that we all carry with us when all of us come into recovery.
