Changing the direction of our life is never an easy thing for anyone, but for those of us who were lucky enough to have found recovery we're fortunate indeed. Although none of us were really looking for this, recovery is all about how we can all change where we're all headed, that none of us wants to go, that we all know there's nothing any of us can do to stop ourselves from getting there. We'll need to open our minds up so that we all can get to where it is we all need and want to be. One of things that keeps all of us from being able to do this is us labeling ourselves. Beyond being alive and human there's never any real need for any of us to put a label on ourselves. As we all progress in recovery though we do see doing this a way of helping others so they can understand where we've all been, but it's not where any of us we're headed now. It's just what we all had to go through that brought us all to where we all are now.
