NURTURING:



Nurturing is neither silly nor self-indulgent; it's how we show
love for ourselves. That's what we're striving for in recovery
– a loving relationship with ourselves that works.

We rest when we're tired; eat when we're hungry; have fun
or relax when our spirits need a lift.

We learn to be gentle with ourselves and to open up to the
nurturing that others have to offer us.

As part of nurturing ourselves, we allow ourselves to give
and receive positive touch – touch that feels appropriate to
us, touch that is safe. We reject touch that doesn't feel good
or safe and is not positive.

We learn to give ourselves what we need in a gentle, loving,
compassionate way. We do this with the understanding it will
not make us lazy, spoiled, self-centered, or narcissistic.
Nurtured people are effective in their work and in their
relationships.

We will learn to feel loved by ourselves so much that we can
truly love others and let them love us.
