Not Only Me

 How I treat others in my moments of difficulty tells me one how I’m doing and how I am going heal. My pain is not all about me. There are other people involved. I am not alone in this world, though I may feel alone in my world. Sometimes healing is especially helped by our compassion for others in spite of our own difficulties. In recovery, people know they are not alone.   Becoming one among others on a common journey is all part of the healing of the addiction.  Isolating is rarely helpful or healing.

  1. Sometimes it is difficult to acknowledge those who are affected by our own personal difficulties.
