Trusting The Process

[roverl0616]

When we're new to recovery all of us were pretty low on being able to trust anybody or anything ourselves included. Yet in order for all of us to get recovery were going to have to learn how to trust again, and that's something that's not easy for any of us to have do again because it includes taking risk, something that all of us have not been very good at either, and with good reason because before recovery most the risks we were all taking were foolish at best. Which leads all of us to believe that we should avoid taking risks at any price and that we'd be better off living that way. Well this doesn't work, life is all about taking risks, and then hoping for the best possible outcome when we do. Recovery teaches us that some risks aren't worth taking, while others it will be to our benefit if we do take them. We can trust that all those who have gone before us in the recovery process that it worked for them, and that it was well worth it for them to take the risk that it would, because it did. We ourselves can begin our own recovery just this way, by knowing that it worked for them, and maybe, just maybe it might work for us. All of us have got nothing to lose by at least trying to see if recovery will work for us. That means there is no risk in trying to see if it does, and that it might even be worth it to us, if we do try.
