Everything that we think we know is knowledge that's been given to us. We come to this world with all that we really need to know, anything else that gets added to this knowledge can sometimes get in our way. When this happens is when our troubles begin, or worse when we try to go against that knowledge, pain will follow, none of us can get away from this truth. Recovery is all about how we can reconnect to that knowledge that we come with, it is from that knowledge that we recover, not from any other source. Many of us have tried, and will continue to try to use what has been proven over and over not to work for us. We'll hear this described in recovery like this, you can't think your way into a new way of living, but changing the way you live, which will change the way you think.
