October 25

Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.

~English saying

When we are in pain, only we know where it hurts. Other people may be ready with suggestions and advice, but we are the only ones who eventually can know what the matter is.

Each of us is a unique expression of humanity, and we are the only one who can live our life. When we are stricken with addiction to compulsive behavior, we know where it hurts and how much. While we may have to bear a lot of pain, we can identify where it hurts and start to do something about it. When this happens, it's possible for others to come to our aid later on.

This is true in our program. We know where the hurt is, and we take the First Step. In doing so we turn to others who help us bear the pain and walk by our side on the open road to recovery.

I acknowledge pain, and I can know what the cause is. I am willing to take the First Step for myself and find help from others.
