I just had a revelation on what recovery really is simplified. Surrender is choosing to live a life finding a different way to process pain.
I see everyone here choosing to deal with pain, but doing it in community, and without checking out. Being present and enduring the pain of being in a world that is on its terms.
I think realizing that im not going to avoid pain through surrender, but actually expect pain, will help me not feel like im supposed to do something to bury it when it surfaces. You all are very encouraging to me when I see you work through your pain.
