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.
