Or is this sober recovery journey just about learning to live day to day in pain. I've gone through this before and a year later I'm back where I started. I know the root causes of my pain both physically and emotionally and I know the power of mind over matter. Hear the pain signal and then say "I heard ya" and move on, don't obsess or focus on the pain. I'm only 27 but since I was young have felt like a little old man. I live for my daughter and if it were not fr her I would have checked out a long time ago. What is the point of living day to day if the pain never goes away?
NA has the same 12 Steps as AA. It saved my life.

I found not only sobriety but sanity and serenity as well in the program.
It might just be the ticket for you as well....

All the best.
