There are times when we're new to recovery when we feel like we've been singled out. This usually leads us to ask the question of why me? Why is recovery happening to me? It's a profound question to which no one really knows the answer to. It is a statistical fact that those in recovery are part of a minority and that many who have the very same problem never get the opportunity to recover that we have. In this modern time of recovery, very few have not heard of recovery, yet so many of us still go to their grave because of this problem for some reason or another they never got recovery. It does seem like some have chosen this, by turning their back on recovery when the opportunity for recovery did present itself, and for them we have the greatest sympathy for because we know we could have been one of them.
