NURTURING:

~

Nurturing is neither silly nor self-indulgent; it's how we show love
for ourselves. That's what we're striving for in recovery – a loving
relationship with ourselves that works.

We rest when we're tired; eat when we're hungry; have fun or relax
when our spirits need a lift.

We learn to be gentle with ourselves and to open up to the nurturing
that others have to offer us.

As part of nurturing ourselves, we allow ourselves to give and
receive positive touch – touch that feels appropriate to us, touch
that is safe. We reject touch that doesn't feel good or safe and is not
positive.

We learn to give ourselves what we need in a gentle, loving,
compassionate way. We do this with the understanding it will not
make us lazy, spoiled, self-centered, or narcissistic. Nurtured people
are effective in their work and in their relationships.

We will learn to feel loved by ourselves so much that we can truly
love others and let them love us.
