TRUST AGAIN:

~

Some of us tried to trust untrustworthy people. We believed lies and
promises. Some of us tried to trust other people, for instance, trusting a
practicing alcoholic to come home when they say they will.

Some of us trusted our Higher Power inappropriately. We trusted our Higher
Power to make other people do what we wanted, then felt betrayed when
that didn't work out.

In recovery, we're healing from our trust issues. We're learning to trust
again. We can learn to trust ourselves. We can be trusted. If others have
taught us we cannot trust ourselves, they were lying. Addictions and
dysfunctional systems can cause people to lie.

We can trust the process – of life and recovery. We do not have to control,
obsess, or become hyper vigilant. We may not always understand where we
are in the process, or what's being worked out in us, but we can trust that
something good is happening.

As we learn to do this, we are ready to learn to trust other people. When we
trust our Higher Power and when we trust ourselves, we will know whom to
trust and what to trust.
