When I first went to Alanonbecause of my son's addiction and the family pain it had caused, I thought my pain was special, no one else had the circumstances that I had about my pain. I came to see that everyone else there was experiencing to some degree the pain that I was. Suffering is lessened when you realize that everyone suffers. It is just the way life is.
