We can believe in the existence of something and still not believe it could be real in our small world. Recovery exists, but not all people believe that it exists for them. They don't see a way out of their trauma-style life so they don't put any faith in release from their own bondages. This is the second layer that prevents people from true healing.
The layers we heap on ourselves that tell us that we cannot be released from our addictive and compulsive behaviours are barriers that keep us from dealing with our real problem. We find ourselves wasting valuable time trying to fix the layers rather than the underlying problem. A lot of people give up entirely because it's too hard to fix the layer, when all they have to do is look under them to find the real problem.
Proverbs 12:15 The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice
I know it's comfortable to not look under the layers. But if our behaviour causes more trouble than we can bear, then all we need to do is find enough courage to look and we will find our real self.
