HONESTY:

We can be honest and direct about our boundaries
in relationships.

Perhaps no area of our life reflects our uniqueness
and individuality in recovery more than our
relationships.

We need to be able to be honest and direct. We
can define our relationships to people, and we can
ask them to be honest and direct about defining
their vision of the relationship with us.

It is confusing to be in relationships and not know
where we stand – whether this is on the job, in a
friendship, with family members, or in love
relationships.

We can set boundaries. If someone wants a more
intense relationship than we do, we can be clear
and honest about what we want, about our
intended level of participation.

We can even define relationships with children, if
those relationships have gotten sticky and
exceeded our parameters.

Relationships take a while to form, but at some
point we can reasonably expect a clear definition
of what that relationship is and what the boundaries
of it are. If the definitions clash, we are free to
make a new decision based on the appropriate
information about what we need to do to take care
of ourselves.
