LACK OF TRUST

SPIRITUAL BALANCE

“You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment unless you trust enough.”

Frank Crane

Trust is an experience. It may be the experience of sharing intimate details of my life with another. It may be the experience of keeping another’s confidence after they have shared with me.

Trust is built by taking right actions, repeatedly, sometimes even when I don’t quite see how doing so will help me with either my pain or my addiction. However, I see others in recovery taking these same actions and recovering; so I trust that these actions will work for me.

When I lack trust, taking right action seems almost impossible. I ask my higher power to help me trust that I can recover, that I can walk through my pain without abusing medications. I replace lack of trust with trust, by taking right actions and experiencing the results.

I understand trust is more than a feeling; it is the action I take of opening up and sharing with another person, listening to and following another’s suggestion, and continuing to stay in the pain recovery process.
