BEHAVIOR:

~

Relationships are the blessing and bane of recovery. Relationships
are where we take our recovery show on the road.

Each day, we are faced with the prospect of functioning in several
different relationships. Sometimes, we choose these relationships;
sometimes, we don't. The one choice we usually have in our
relationships concerns our own behavior.

We're learning to acknowledge our power to take care of ourselves in
our relationships. We're learning to be intimate with people when
possible.

Do we need to detach from someone who we've been trying to
control? Is there someone we need to talk to, even though what we
have to say may be uncomfortable? Is there someone we've been
avoiding because we're afraid to take care of ourselves with that
person? Do we need to make an amend? Is there someone we need
to reach out to, or show love?

Recovery is not done apart from our relationships. Recovery is done
by learning to own our power and to take care of ourselves in
relationships.
