Whether we speak at a treatment center, lead a support group, further educate the community about chronic pain, or reach out to others who are in pain, we will be sharing the responsibility. We may never rid ourselves or anyone else of pain - but together we can share our responsibilities and learn to cope with our pain one day at a time.
