There is so much riding on our decision to join recovery and make it part of our life. Many of us sense this and think only in terms of what we'll be losing, not by what we'll be gaining if we join recovery. The sad truth is with this problem we're in over our heads, and we fail to see we have already lost so much by having this problem and not being willing to do anything about it. We just let it have it's way with us, and it's running the show as it runs our life into the ground. This is the biggest decision we'll ever make, our lives are at stake, and if we're not willing to do anything about stopping what's happening to us, it will continue to go on using us to destroy ourselves, and the worst thing about this happening is that we have to sit and watch as this is done to us. On our own there's nothing we can do about stopping this. There is a solution, a way out of all this, and it's found in recovery, and it's freely shared with anyone who wants to get back all that they have already lost, and keep from losing everything.
