I'm in pain all the time, but not as much as when I'm detoxing. Self medicating would always work to relieve it, but then it would be 10 times worse when I drop off. Just for today, let me push through the pain. Let me get so wrapped up in service that I won't be stuck in negative thinking. Let me be a light for others lest I trip and fall myself. I have no desire to use and for that, I am grateful. It gets better.
