SURVIVOR GUILT:

Whenever we begin to experience the fullness and
joy of life, we may feel guilty about those we've left
behind – those not recovering, those still in pain.
This survivor guilt is a symptom of codependency.

We may think about the husband we've divorced
who is still drinking. We may dwell on a child,
grown or adult, still in pain. We may get a phone
call from a non recovering parent who relates his
or her misery to us. And we feel pulled into their
pain.

It hurts to leave behind those we love. But keep
moving forward anyway. Be patient. Other
people's recovery is not our job. We cannot
make them recover. We cannot make them
happy.

We may ask why we were chosen for a fuller life.
We may never know the answer. Some may
catch up in their own time, but their recovery is
not our business. The only recovery we can truly
claim is our own.

We can let go of others with love, and love
ourselves without guilt.
