The Fighters That We Are

[roverl0616]

All of us are fighters and we've all been battling up to this point on our own, something that none of us will ever be able to beat this way. The very first thing that all of us have to do before anything else so that we all can begin our recovery is for all of us to give up battling this on our own. As reluctant as we all are to do this, to stop fighting this on our own, it helps all of us to know that this never works when it comes to anyone who has this problem. All of us have to stop fighting this, and we all can the minute we decide that we're not going to try to do it on our own any more, and that we are going to try what recovery says to do instead. The first thing we all do in recovery is we all accept that we do have this problem. This is what allows all of us to begin to able to get over having it, because once we have done this we all can begin to surrender to the fact that we do have it, and this is what allows for us to stop the fighting that we do, and once we do, all of us can now see that fighting this never did any of us any good. It is by accepting we do have this problem that all of us are able to begin to get over having it. This never happens by fighting it, and as long as we all fight that we have this problem, for just that long none of us will ever be able to get over having it.
