All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them. ~Isak Dinesen Sharing our experience, strength, and hope with others in this program helps to clarify for all of us the miracle of recovery. Telling another woman how we survived the most awful of experiences lets her know that her life is survivable too. It's not by accident that the founders of AA stressed the value of telling our stories. Each time we share an aspect of our own traumatic past, its sting is diminished. The more we repeat these awful truths, the less their hold on us. Our storytelling lets our listeners know that their own experiences are not so different after all. What lucky women we are. No longer do we hide ourselves from others. Each conversation with a sponsor, sponsee, or friend is an opportunity to lighten our load. I will tell a part of my story to someone today. She may be helped by it, and I will be freed from it! Today's reading is from the book A Woman's Spirit: More meditations for Women*
