Decrease Pain or Increase Coping

Hi all,

I read something that I posted on my board and I thought of it in a different way for us.

When we are going through stressful or painful situations we can either reduce the pain or increase our coping methods. For a lot of us here there is no way to reduce the pain because it is caused by another human being with a free will to continue their life choices. Some of us can separate from the source of the pain and some of us cannot.

So our recovery is all about increasing our coping methods. Life keeps getting better and better as our coping skills improve.
This simplified things for me and let me know that there is a method to this madness. I hope it helps you as well.

Hugs,

MG
