What A Mess

[roverl0616]

Ours is a messy situation for all of us without exception. This is true for everyone of us as newcomers to recovery. It is not by accident that we've all landed here even though the majority of us think so. What we're all looking for is a way out of this mess that we all now find ourselves in not knowing how any of us got here. Sure we all know we played our part in having this mess, but the making of this mess was not our doing. It was something that has been done to all of us and recovery is about finding out specifically what that has been in each of our lives, and to learn how we can live with knowing this. It is interesting to know the original founders when documenting the process of recovery wanted to name their work The Way Out. Oh yes there is a way out of this mess for all of us and it's not how any of us think it's going to have to be, but nonetheless it still does exist and if somehow all of us can not just give up on ourselves now that we're all at the doorsteps of finding this out. All of our lives will now have a full and wonderful meaning that none of them had before. The process of finding our way out doesn't make what has happened to all of us any better, but it will make all of us better able to love and know who we all are in spite of this messy situation we all find ourselves in.
