GOOD POINTS:


We don't need to limit an inventory of ourselves to the negatives.

Honestly, fearlessly, ask: " What's right with me? What are my
good points?"

"Am I a loving, caring, nurturing person?" We may have neglected
to live ourselves in the process of caring for others, but nurturing
is an asset.

"Is there something I do particularly well?"

"Do I have a sense of humor?" "Do I brighten people up?" "Am I
good at comforting others?" "Do I have an ability to make
something good out of barely nothing at all?" "Do I see the best
in people?"

These are character assets. We may have gone to an extreme
with these, but that's okay. We are now on our way to finding
balance.

Recovery is not about eliminating our personality. Recovery
aims at changing, accepting, working around, or transforming our
negatives, and building on our positives.
