“ A CREED FOR THOSE IN PAIN ”

rooted in the conviction that ...

I.

Everyone has the right to be supported
in the pursuit of their
own recovery .

II.

No one
is naturally wired-up to handle significant ,
ongoing bodily pain
alone .

III.

Finding the experience
of pain to be challenging , difficult ,
and , at times , the source
of great anguish ,
does not then mean that
there is a
single thing wrong with you .
Any capable , competent , & well-adjusted
person , when confronted with significant ongoing pain ,
will , from time to time ,
feel like a deer staring at headlights .
