The major reason that new discoveries in recovery take years to be accepted and why confused and irrational traditions are maintained for generations.
In fact is that human evolution so far occurred without science, and so what you heard most often or what made the most sense to you was safest to accept as true.In the case of dissociation as a trap that looks like recovery, but is far worse, robbing us of our lives has become increasingly true. A group of people say they have found recovery together if questioned singularly they become less certain. some doubt it, but to be accepted within the tribe go along with it.
Whilst The TEN Stages is new. The answer is timeless.To become recovered from addiction is to heal the ancient wounds that caused the despair in the first place. This will not be easy for us, because our parents crushed the searching side of us, and subtly threatened us with full rejection if we tried to reconstitute our healthy and seeking side. But healing is possible. We who suffer from addiction needs to find others who can hear us and believe us and trust us – trust every little bit of horror we have gone through and still holds inside our psyche like a poisonous abscess – until we can learn to do this for ourselves. We must begin our growth process in a more enlightened setting that does not crush us anew.
We must find ways to look honestly at the history of our demise and feel all our grief, horror, and rage. We may lose our old numb self in the process, but we will find our life. No one who finds the path to our legitimate anger and honest grief can ever stay in addiction for long.
