PROBLEM SOLVING:

Many of us lived in situations where it wasn't
okay to identify, have or talk about problems.

In recovery, many of us still fear problems. We
may spend more time reacting to a problem
than we do solving it. We miss the point; we
miss the lesson; we miss the gift. Problems are
a part of life. So are solutions.

A problem doesn't mean life is negative or
horrible. Having a problem doesn't mean a
person is deficient. All people have problems to
work through.

In recovery, we learn to focus on solving our
problems. First, we make certain the problem is
our problem. If it isn't, our problem is
establishing boundaries. Then we seek the best
solution. This may mean setting a goal, asking
for help, gathering more information, taking an
action, or letting go.

Recovery does not mean immunity or
exemption from problems; recovery means
learning to face and solve problems, knowing
they will appear regularly. We can trust our
ability to solve problems, and know we're not
doing it alone. Having problems does not mean
our Higher Power is picking on us. Some
problems are part of life; others are ours to
solve.

Face and solve today's problems. Don't worry
needlessly about tomorrow's problems, because
when they appear, we'll have the resources
necessary to solve them.

Facing and solving problems – working through
problems with help from a Higher Power
– means we're living and growing and reaping
benefits.
