RESPONSIBILITY:

~

Self-care means taking responsibility for ourselves. Taking
responsibility for ourselves includes assuming our true
responsibilities to others.

Sometimes, when we begin recovery, we're worn down from feeling
responsible for so many other people.

The goal in recovery is to find the balance: we take responsibility for
ourselves, and we identify our true responsibilities to others.

This may take some sorting through. We may be responsible to one
person as a friend or as an employee; to another person, we're
responsible as an employer or a spouse. With each person, we have
certain responsibilities.

We are also learning that while others aren't responsible for us, they
are accountable to us in certain ways.

We can learn to discern our true responsibilities for ourselves, and
to others. We can allow others to be responsible for themselves and
expect them to be appropriately responsible to us.

We'll need to be gentle with ourselves while we learn.
