Bill Says: (A Blog About Recovery)
Some thoughts about recovery. * Take what you like and leave the rest.

REVENGE:
No matter how long we've been recovering, we
may still feel an overwhelming desire at times to
punish, or get even, with another person.
Those are normal feelings, but we do not have to
act on them. These feelings are part of our anger
but it's not our job to deal justice.
We can allow ourselves to feel the anger. It is
helpful to go one step deeper and let ourselves feel
the other feelings – the hurt, the pain, the anguish.
But our goal is to release the feelings.
We can hold the other person accountable. We can
hold the other person responsible. But it is not our
responsibility to be judge and jury.
Walk away. Stop playing the game. Unhook. Learn
your lesson. Thank the other person for having
taught you something valuable. And be finished with
it.
Acceptance helps. So does forgiveness – not the
kind that invites that person to use us again, but a
forgiveness that releases the other person and sets
him or her free to walk a separate path.
