GET IT ALL OUT:

~

Once we begin recovery, we may feel it's not okay to gripe and
complain. We may tell ourselves that if we were really working a
good program, we wouldn't need to complain.

We can let ourselves get our feelings out, take risks, and be
vulnerable with others. We don't have to be all put together, all
the time. That sounds more like codependency than recovery.

Getting it all out doesn't mean we need to be victims. It doesn't
mean we need to revel in our misery. It doesn't mean we won't go
on to set boundaries. It doesn't mean we won't take care of
ourselves.

Sometimes, getting it all out is an essential part of taking care of
ourselves. We reach a point of surrender so we can move forward.

Self-disclosure does not mean only quietly reporting our feelings.
It means we occasionally take the risk to share our human side –
the side with fears, sadness, hurt, rage, unreasonable anger,
weariness, or lack of faith.

We can let our humanity show. In the process, we give others
permission to be human too. "Together" people have their
not-so-together moments. Sometimes, falling apart – getting it all
out – is how we get put back together.
