BEING RIGHT:

Recovery is about allowing ourselves to be who
we are and accepting others as they are.

That concept may be difficult for some of us if
we have lived in systems that function on the
"right-wrong" principle. The person who was
right was okay; the person who was wrong was
not okay. Value and worth may have depended
on being right; to be wrong meant annihilation
of self and self-esteem.

We are learning how to strive for love in our
relationships, not superiority. Yes, we may need
to make decisions about people's behavior
from time to time. If someone is hurting us, we
need to stand up for ourselves. We have a
responsibility to take care of ourselves. But we
do not need to justify taking care of ourselves
by condemning someone else. We can avoid
the trap of focusing on others instead of
ourselves.

We are learning that what we do needs to be
right only for us. What others do is their
business and needs to be to be right only for
them. It's tempting to rest in the superiority of
being right and in analyzing other people's
motives and actions.
