LOVE:

Allowing ourselves to receive love is one of the
greatest challenges we face in recovery.

Many of us have blocked ourselves from receiving
love. We may have lived with people who used
love to control us. They would be there for us, but
at the high price of our freedom. Love was given,
or withheld, to control us and have power over us.

At some point in recovery, we acknowledge that
we, too, want and need to be loved. We may feel
awkward with this need. How can we let others
care for us without feeling trapped, abused,
frightened, and unable to care for ourselves?

We will learn. The starting point is surrender – to
our desire to be loved, our need to be nurtured
and loved. We will grow confident in our ability to

take care of ourselves with people. We will feel
safe enough to let people care for us; we will
grow to trust our ability to choose people who are
safe and who can give us love.

We may need to get angry first – angry that our
needs have not been met. Later, we can become
grateful to those people who have shown us what
we don't want, the ones who have assisted us in
the process of believing we deserve love, and the
ones who come into our life to love us.

Surrender to the love that is there for us, to the
love that people, the Universe, and our Higher
Power send our way.

Start by surrendering to love for yourself.
