We're standing up to addiction, together.
If you suffer from addiction you have lived the Big Lie, the adversary, addiction, whispers to you that everything is going to be all right if you just give in, this time it will be different, but invariably the result is pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization. We who have traveled before you understand the lies the adversary spins, regardless of how long we have been in recovery for it is an implacable foe, cunning, baffling, powerful and patient. One of the most persistent lies is that we are alone, that no one understands or cares. Nothing could be further from the truth! If you are reading this and feel that no one loves you or will ever love you because of your actions and your consequences when you were in the grip of active addiction, you’re wrong! You’re feeling alone, convinced that nothing will ever change, you’re wrong! There are millions of us who understand and want to help; we have felt just as hopeless, just as lost. We understand having experienced these same feelings and we promise things will change. The sad truth is that the majority who suffer at the hands of the adversary believe it’s lies, big and small, and will die never knowing the peace and freedom we have found, one day at a time. The millions of us in active recovery are here to help.
The love we have for one another is a pearl beyond price, given freely, the only condition willingness. So the choice is yours, to continue to believe the lies addiction weaves, living in the despair, soul crushing disillusionment and self-imposed isolation or step into the light of recovery. So whether this is a first attempt at recovery or you are a weary warrior returning from the battle once again, we understand for we are you. We come from all walks of life, every color and creed represented, some of us born with a silver spoon in our mouth, others plastic. We come from Park Avenue and park benches, silk sheets and city streets and we understand. Having read this all the way through you can never tell yourself again that no one understands or loves you or that you are so different that recovery will not work for you. We know you because we are you.
