ENJOYMENT:

~

One of the prohibitions many of us learned in childhood is the unspoken
rule. Don't have fun and enjoy life. This rule creates martyrs.

Many of us associated suffering with some sort of sainthood. Now, we
associate it with codependency. We can go through the day making
ourselves feel anxious, guilty, miserable, and deprived. Or we can allow
ourselves to go through that same day feeling good. In recovery, we
eventually learn the choice is ours.

Work at learning to have fun. Apply yourself with dedication to learning
enjoyment.

Our work will pay off. Fun will become fun. Life will become worth living.
And each day, we'll find many pleasures to be enjoyed.
