I have had great experiences today and a lot of time reflecting. My reflection has been on RECOVERING from anything. The reason it’s called recovery is because it has to do with some kind of pain. I have spent a lifetime trying not to deal with pain, and to find something to remove that agonizing moments, which can be a very extended moment. What I have come to realize is that the fear is not pain but it is what I need to achieve the level of courage too find that recovery, without giving up or in. Pain is something we can become very addicted to. We find sympathy in it, we find those who nurture us, we find anger in it, it anesthetizes, it keeps us from looking at ourselves (a distraction), it makes us pity, the list goes on. So with all the distortions, we fear recovering from our emotional addiction connected with pain. There is a very real component between these things that one has to see.This means I have to see my part and my unwillingness to let go of all those things that bind me to it. To fear the recovery has kept so many of us tied to very destructive behavior, and it can kill. We will continue to infect and distort the very essence of the instinct to survive, we will throw in the towel, than to walk through those very scary feelings that we can’t deal with what we are confronting.
I can only share this from my own experiences with all types of pain that I have had to deal with, and I know that many, who have been here, have done it. My prayer is that I never am confronted with any pains that I don’t have the power to walk though. God has shared it’s power with me and lets me know through you, together WE can achieve miracles in fighting fear of recovering from anything. TOGETHER WE CONQUER THINGS THAT WE CAN NOT DO ALONE.
Peace Out: Love to all. M
