CHOICES:



We may feel trapped in our relationships, our
jobs, our life. We may feel locked into behaviors
– such as care taking or controlling.

When we hear ourselves say, "I have to take
care of this person…" "I have to say yes …." "I
have to try to control that person …" "I have to
behave this way, think this way, feel this way …"
we can know we are choosing not to see choices.

That sense of being trapped is an illusion. We are
not controlled by circumstances, our past, the
expectations of others, or our unhealthy
expectations for ourselves. We can choose what
feels right for us, without guilt.

Recovery is not about behaving perfectly or
according to anyone else's rules. More than
anything else, recovery is about knowing we
have choices and giving ourselves the freedom to
choose.
