body else...it seems also to become
hidden even from himself, and it per-
mits disease and death to gnaw into his
substance without his clear knowledge.
A man's recovery is in knowing himself honestly and learning to have loving relationships with others. Many of us have had close calls with death as the consequence of our addictions or codependency. We ignored the dangers in our lives and many of us neglected our health. We wore ourselves out and wasted our energies.
Spiritual recovery and physical health go hand in hand. In recovery, moving toward fullness in life, our selves are returned to us. We leave behind our old learnings and habits because they were lethal. We are becoming men who tune in to ourselves and to others around us. We are looking at ourselves and saying "I'll work with it!"
I will not hide myself; I will continue to be open with myself and others.
