The problem we all face has affected us all in the same way and what happens to all of us is the same thing, we lose our connection with ourselves this is what is causing all our pain. It's not all the troubles we're having, like we think, and we'll know this once we begin recovery and start to see our troubles start to melt away. Then we'll see that what we are given is something else of a much greater importance to us than to just have our troubles taken away, and that they're not our problem, or what we're were missing. All they're doing is keeping us from being able to be whole again. Some of us may have had this before, while others haven't, and it will be new to them, but all of us can get it from being in recovery. It's what recovery is designed to do, to make us whole again, so that we no longer have to be that empty shell of a person we've all been. It's our mind, body, spirit connection that we all lack and sorely need, and want, and don't know how to get. We all can have this just by practicing the program of recovery as a way of life
