What this program has to offer to all of us is a lifetime of recovery from a problem that never goes away for any of us. Many of us don't know this when we begin our recovery. What we expect is to get what we need from recovery so that we can get on with our life and be on our merry way. We all find out in time that recovery doesn't work like that for any of us, and that we will all need the practice of recovery in our life for the rest of our lives if we expect to have some way of living and coping with having this problem. This is so important to all of us so that this problem we all have doesn't cause us so much trouble that our lives become not worth living. This is what was happening to all of us without us having recovery. Even before any of us knew it at the time and before we got to recovery and found out about having this problem. We could all sense that this problem was doing this to us all, making our lives not worth living. None of us liked that this problem was doing this to us but none of us knew of a way we could stop it from ruining our lives. Recovery is that way and it has done just that for the millions of us who have practiced what it teaches us to do so our lives are worth living.
