OUR POWER:

~

We need to make a distinction between powerlessness and owning our power.

The first step in recovery is accepting powerlessness. Some things we can't
do, no matter how long or hard we try. Including changing other people,
solving their problems, and controlling their behavior. Sometimes, we feel
powerless over ourselves.

It's important to surrender to powerlessness, but it's equally important to
own our power. We aren't helpless. Sometimes it may feel like we are, but we
aren't. We each have the Spiritual power, to take care of ourselves under any
circumstance, and with any person. The middle ground of self-care lies
between the two extremes of controlling others and allowing them to control
us.
