If I could only remember whilst I am in the throes of a deep depression just how much I grow, spiritually, each time I fall........I wouldn't freak out or feel so miserable...I would know I am just having 'growing pains" and I can endure..I can cope, I can move beyond the pain.
just had to share that..I was sitting here pondering pain, and how it chages us, and feels like it chains us...actually it is helping to set me free. Making me pay attention, making me feel more alive...than ever before. LOL..when you have an overabundance of pain you know for da*** sure you ARE alive.....there is really nothing worse than the numb depression, the empty agony addiction and depression can bring.....the pain I feel sober....I can move past, because I FEEL it, all of it, and I don't run away.
