POWER:

~

In recovery from codependency, we learn there's a big difference
between humility and discounting ourselves.

When others act irresponsibly and attempt to blame their problems
on us, we no longer feel guilty. We let them face their own
consequences.

When others try to manipulate or exploit us, we know it's okay to
feel anger and distrust and to say no to the plan.

When others tell us we want something that we really don't want,
or someone tells us that we don't want something that we really do
want, we trust ourselves. When others tell us things we don't
believe, we know it's okay to trust our instincts.

We can even change our mind later.

We don't have to give up our personal power to anyone: strangers,
friends, spouses, children, authority figures, or those over whom
we're in authority. People may have things to teach us. They may
have more information than we have, and may appear more
confident or forceful than we feel. But we are equals.

We are not second-class citizens. By owning our power, we don't
have to become aggressive or controlling. We don't have to discount
others. But we don't discount ourselves either.
