Sore
Today I went to a children's birthday party with my two boys. It was at a trampoline facility. A sort of bouncing obstacle course that was incredibly fun for both child and child-at-heart.
When I started jumping I thought it was going to be a great workout for my legs. Ironically, I now sit here with incredibly sore shoulders. The result of strenuously using my arms to keep balance as I bounced from one place to another all about the facility. Totally unexpected.
Similarly, when I came into the rooms of recovery I thought it was going to be the removal of alcohol and other weapons of self-destruction that would make me sore. And, to a certain extent, it did. But far greater soreness has occurred as I address the underlying causes. The defects of character. Though it is working in those areas that bring the most relief, joy, security and strength.
That pain I feel, it's just weakness leaving the body.
