FAMILIES:

~

There is no one or perfect way to deal with members
of our family. It is up to each of us to choose a path
that suits us and our needs at each point in time.

The idea that is new to us in recovery is that we can choose.
We can set the boundaries we need to set with family members.
We can choose a path that works for us, without guilt and
obligation or undue influence from any source, including
recovery professionals.

Our goal is to detach in love with family members. Our goal
is to be able to take care of ourselves, love ourselves, and
live healthy lives.

It's okay to say no to our families when that is what we want.
It's okay to say yes to our families if that feels right. It's
okay to call time-out and it's okay to go back as a different
person.
