Some thoughts about recovery. * Take what you like and leave the rest.
Few things can make us feel crazier than expecting something fromsomeone who has nothing to give. We may have spent yearsnegotiating with reality concerning particular people from our pastand our present. We may have spent years trying to get someoneto love us in a certain way, when that person cannot or will not.
It is time to let it go. That doesn't mean we can't love that personanymore. It means that we will feel the immense relief that comeswhen we stop denying reality and begin accepting. We release thatperson to be who he or she actually is.
We learn to love and care differently in a way that takes realityinto account.
We enter into a relationship with that person on new terms– taking ourselves and our needs into account. If a person isaddicted to alcohol, other drugs, misery, or other people, we letgo of his or her addiction; we take our hands off it. We give his orher life back. And we, in the process, are given our life andfreedom in return.
We stop letting what we are not getting from that person controlus. We take responsibility for our life. We go ahead with theprocess of loving and taking care of ourselves.
We decide how we want to interact with that person, taking realityand our own best interests into account. We get angry, we feel hurt,but we land in a place of forgiveness. We set him or her free, andwe become set free from bondage.
