VULNERABLE:



Part of recovery means learning to share
ourselves with other people. We learn to admit
our mistakes and expose our imperfections – not
so that others can fix us, rescue us, or feel sorry
for us, but so we can love and accept ourselves.
This sharing is a catalyst in healing and changing.

Many of us are fearful of sharing our
imperfections because that makes us vulnerable.
Some of us have tried being vulnerable in the
past, and people tried to control, manipulate, or
exploit us, or they made us feel ashamed.

We learn from our mistakes – and despite our
mistakes, it is still a good thing to allow ourselves
to be vulnerable and honest. We can learn to
share appropriately, so we don't scare or push
people away. We can also learn to let others be
vulnerable with us.
