BEING RIGHT:

~

Recovery is about allowing ourselves to be who we are and accepting
others as they are.

That concept may be difficult for some of us if we have lived in
systems that function on the "right-wrong" principle. The person
who was right was okay; the person who was wrong was not okay.
Value and worth may have depended on being right; to be wrong
meant annihilation of self and self-esteem.

We are learning how to strive for love in our relationships, not
superiority. Yes, we may need to make decisions about people's
behavior from time to time. If someone is hurting us, we need to
stand up for ourselves. We have a responsibility to take care of
ourselves. But we do not need to justify taking care of ourselves by
condemning someone else. We can avoid the trap of focusing on
others instead of ourselves.

We are learning that what we do needs to be right only for us. What
others do is their business and needs to be to be right only for them.
It's tempting to rest in the superiority of being right and in analyzing
other people's motives and actions.
