I heard something from my home group last week that I thought I should share with those working on recovery. The following statement is so profound, it is:
"Pain is the only knife sharp enough to cut through denial"
It reminded me of how long I fought and struggled against the disease before I was able to surrender. Once I was put in enough pain, I was able to understand the slogan "Let Go and Let God" and live my life in acceptance. Then and only then did I have the courage to begin working the steps. With God's help, I was able to turn my stinking thinking around and see the gifts he has given me. I am truly blessed!
