EXPERIMENT:



In our younger years, many of us were deprived
of the right to experiment. Many of us are
depriving ourselves of the right to experiment
and learn as adults.

The time to experiment is now. It's an important
part of recovery. Let yourself try things. Let
yourself try something new. Yes, you will make
mistakes. But from those mistakes, you can
learn what your values are.

Some things we just won't like. Then we'll
know a little more about who we are.

Some things we will like. They will work with
who we are, and we can discover something
important and life-enriching.

There are quiet times in recovery, times to
stand still and heal, times to give ourselves a
cooling-off period. These can be times of
introspection and healing.

There also comes a time when it is equally
important to experiment, to begin to "test the
water."

Recovery means learning to live and learning
to live fully. Recovery means being done with
the rigid, shame-based rules from the past,
and formulating healthy values based on
self-love, love for others, and living in
harmony with the world.
