GETTING IT ALL OUT:

Once we begin recovery, we may feel it's not okay
to gripe and complain. We may tell ourselves that
if we were really working a good program, we
wouldn't need to complain.

We can let ourselves get our feelings out, take risks,
and be vulnerable with others. We don't have to be
all put together, all the time. That sounds more like
codependency than recovery.

Getting it all out doesn't mean we need to be victims.
It doesn't mean we need to revel in our misery. It
doesn't mean we won't go on to set boundaries. It

doesn't mean we won't take care of ourselves.

Sometimes, getting it all out is an essential part of
taking care of ourselves. We reach a point of
surrender so we can move forward.

Self-disclosure does not mean only quietly
reporting our feelings. It means we occasionally
take the risk to share our human side – the side
with fears, sadness, hurt, rage, unreasonable anger,
weariness, or lack of faith.

We can let our humanity show. In the process, we
give others permission to be human too.
"Together" people have their not-so-together
moments. Sometimes, falling apart – getting it all
out – is how we get put back together.
