The whole time there's been something going on with all of us that none of us were able to see or understand even after it was pointed out to us. Most of the time when it was, we'd all go into a complete denial even when we knew there was something up with us that we didn't understand, and most of the time we were embarrassed that others were able to see what we couldn't see in ourselves. Recovery opens the door on all this so we can see it, so we'll know exactly what our problem is. Then we'll be able to understand how we can live with it like we were never able to before. While all this may seem new to us it's really not, and after we've been in recovery for a while we'll see that we're really quite familiar with a lot of this problem we just couldn't see it. This is an age old problem that has been around forever, and before recovery came along it was having its way with all of us. That's all changed now because of recovery, now there is a way for us to live with this problem without having it destroy us and everyone around us, and if we're willing to join recovery we'll see and understand all we need to know about how we can do this.
