TRUST AGAIN:



Some of us tried to trust untrustworthy people.
We believed lies and promises. Some of us tried
to trust other people, for instance, trusting a
practicing alcoholic to come home when they say
they will.

Some of us trusted our Higher Power
inappropriately. We trusted our Higher Power to
make other people do what we wanted, then felt
betrayed when that didn't work out.

In recovery, we're healing from our trust issues.
We're learning to trust again. We can learn to
trust ourselves. We can be trusted. If others
have taught us we cannot trust ourselves, they
were lying. Addictions and dysfunctional systems
can cause people to lie.

We can trust the process – of life and recovery.
We do not have to control, obsess, or become
hyper vigilant. We may not always understand
where we are in the process, or what's being
worked out in us, but we can trust that
something good is happening.

As we learn to do this, we are ready to learn
to trust other people. When we trust our Higher
Power and when we trust ourselves, we will
know whom to trust and what to trust.
