OWNING OUR POWER:

~

We do not have to be so victimized by life, by people, by situations,
by work, by our friends, by our love relationships, by our family, by
ourselves, our feelings, our thoughts, our circumstances.

Yes, admitting and accepting powerlessness is important. But that is
a first step, an introduction to this business of recovery. Later, comes
owning our power. Changing what we can. This is as important as
admitting and accepting powerlessness.

We can own our power, wherever we are, wherever we go, whoever
we are with. We do not have to stand there with our hands tied,
groveling helplessly, submitting to whatever comes along. There are
things we can do. We can speak up. Solve the problem.

We can make ourselves feel good. We can walk away. We can come
back on our terms. We can refuse to let others control and manipulate
us.

We can do what we need to do to take care of ourselves. That is the
beauty, the reward the crown of victory we are given in this process
called recovery.

If we can't do anything about the circumstance, we can change our
attitude. We can do the work within: courageously face our issues
so we are not victimized.
