The Hurting

[roverl0616]

We all are so full of hurt and so worn out by having to carry it with us all the time by the time we all get to recovery, but very few of us have any idea why we are hurting the way all of us are. We all have made the same mistakes that will lead anyone to hurting the way we all do and we're all unaware of making these mistakes or thinking that this was our doing that was causing all of us to hurt this way, but this is because of us for all of us without exception. Recovery will repair the hurt that's in all of us that we all are inflicting upon ourselves if we will let it. This is done by all of us agreeing to do the things it teaches us to do, or we can go on hurting, or try to find some other way to stop the hurt. This choice is left up to all of us to make. No one is going to make anyone do the process of recovery. We all have to be willing to want to do this for ourselves which is where all of us who have stopped the hurting began when we come into recovery. Don't make that final fatal mistake of thinking that this hurting never goes away, it can and does. Just look around in recovery where there are people who understand how awful the hurting is, and who have found a way to no longer hurt like that any more. We all can choose this for ourselves, and anyone who does can begin to learn how to stop all that pain that comes from all of us hurting the way we all do, that we all carry with us when we all come into recovery.
