Recovery
by ©Richard Budig 1999

One of the saddest things
about recovery and wellness
is that when it happens to you,
you end up alone -- really alone --
the very thing you’ve fought against.
Getting well is “getting it,”
understanding not only what happened
but the roll others around you played,
like mothers and significant others.
and when you try to explain
they blanch and run from your pain.
