Resurrection

 Resurrection from the dead is about revealing your truer self.  When Jesus rose from the dead he revealed that he was a lot more than a fellow from Nazareth, a teacher and healer.  Recovery is about resurrection.  You were dead to your true self and living a life that was fake, for whatever reason.  It became intolerable so you ingested a lot of stuff.  You almost die physically, but then you get into recovery and die to that old way, the wrong way of false self.  What lives? You discover, step by step, a you that is a miracle, but always there within.  You are being raised to new life. This is a never ending process of deeper discovery of self, gifts and talents, and lots of change.  Recovery never ends.  It is a verb of action.
