The Pain of Recovery

By December when the group ended my pain was pretty much gone. Best investment of my life and I'll be forever grateful to both curable and the amazing and inspiring humans that I met in my group. And as wonderful as this is, it hasn't been easy or seamless or linear. Recovery felt for a while like a full-time job. Retraining my brain felt like a really hard thing to do on most days. Though definitely easier and more rewarding than managing pain 24-7 or having my life get smaller and smaller.
