From “Twenty-Four Hours A Day” – February 10th

Like a tree, I must be pruned of a lot of dead branches before I will be ready to bear good fruit. Think of changed people as trees that have been stripped of their old branches, pruned, cut, and bare. But through the dark, seemingly dead branches flows silently, secretly, the new sap, until the sun of spring comes new life. There are new leaves, new buds, blossoms, and fruit, many times better because of the pruning.

I think this is a great analogy of my recovery so far.

I hope you can relate to this as well.

I think this is a good analogy and certainly relates to me and my recovery.

Going with the analogy above, it's amazing (and sad) to me how many people are unwilling to have their "dead branches" pruned.

The fear of the unknown is sometimes greater than the pain that is real...I guess.

When the pain outweighs the fear then potentially progress can be made...i call it a window of opportunity, in my experience it doesn´t stay open very long either:-)

I can relate to anything involving sap.
