DISCOMFORT:

~

Our goal in recovery is to make ourselves feel comfortable,
peaceful, content. Sometimes, to do that, we need to be willing to
face, feel and get through discomfort.

I am not talking here about being addicted to misery and pain. I'm
talking about the legitimate discomfort we sometimes need to feel
as we heal.

When we have surgery, the pain hurts most the day after the
operation. When we do the kind of work we are facing in recovery,
we are doing an emotional, mental, and spiritual surgery on
ourselves.

We are strong enough to survive discomfort and temporary
feelings of emotional pain. Once we are willing to face and feel our
discomfort and pain, we are almost to the point of release.
