PAIN:

There are many sources of pain in our life.
We have feelings, sometimes from early
childhood to the present, that either hurt to
much to feel or that we had no support and
permission to deal with.

There are other inevitable sources of pain in
our life too. There is sadness and grief that
comes when we experience change, even
good change.

We have many choices about how to stop this
pain. Compulsive and addictive behaviors stop
pain – temporarily. We may have used alcohol,
other drugs, relationships, or sex to stop our pain.

To survive, we may have used some of these
options, only to find that these were Band-Aids
– temporary pain relievers that did not solve
the problem.

In recovery, there is a better choice about
how we may stop pain. We can face it and
feel it. When we are ready, with our Higher
Power's help, we can summon the courage
to feel the pain, let it go, and let the pain
move us forward – into a new decision, a
better life.

We can stop the behaviors we are doing that
cause pain, if that's appropriate. We can make
decisions to remove ourselves from situations
that cause repeated, similar pain.

If we are being hit repeatedly by pain, there is
a lesson. Trust the idea. Something is being
worked out in us. The answer will not come
from addictive or other compulsive behaviors;
we will receive the answer when we feel our

feelings.

Go with the flow, even when the flow takes us
through uncomfortable feelings.
