When We're New

[roverl0616]

All of us are glad after some time of being in recovery that we are here in recovery, and that somehow all of us were able to make it to recovery. But for most of us when we begin none of us liked having to be here. One thing we all need to keep in mind about recovery is that it's always changing for all of us, and that none of us liked being here when we begin because of what we thought it meant for all of us to be in recovery. Like most things that have to do with recovery we all soon found out we were all wrong about this too. All of us will soon discover we like being in recovery, and there's no other place we'd all rather be. Because recovery does for all of us what none of us could do for ourselves. All of us are going to have to allow for the time that it takes for this to happen to us when we're new to recovery, and if we do this always does happen for all of us. Then together we're all glad to be here in recovery, a place where all of us can belong.
