In life there will always be pain. There is no getting around it. Sometime, somehow, you will be hurt. By being hurt, I am not referring to falling down and breaking a bone or skinning the knee. I am talking about emotional pain. Suffering emotional pain, even as difficult as it may be, is a natural part of growth. It gives one a better understanding of the world around them. It gives perspective.
In life, we all deal with a loss or a change in our life that was not wanted. It can bring on insecurities, doubts, fear, sadness, and a mess load of other feelings all at one time that can feel insurmountable. However, once we work through them we can see that we survived and gained insight in how to deal with emotional trauma.
Recovery is much the same. You will be dealing with many deep emotional issues that you have bottled up and buried with your addiction in order not to feel the pain. These issues need to be dealt with in order to get to the other side. However, if you are feeling the pain of the emotional issues you know you are on your way. The path through your pain affirms that you are alive, really alive and making a new journey, one that will change your life for the better. So do not run from the pain of emotional hurt; rather embrace it and embrace a brighter future.
