NURTURING:


Nurturing is neither silly nor
self-indulgent; it's how we show love
for ourselves. That's what we're
striving for in recovery – a loving
relationship with ourselves that works.

We rest when we're tired; eat when
we're hungry; have fun or relax when
our spirits need a lift.

We learn to be gentle with ourselves
and to open up to the nurturing that
others have to offer us.

As part of nurturing ourselves, we
allow ourselves to give and receive
positive touch – touch that feels
appropriate to us, touch that is safe.
We reject touch that doesn't feel good
or safe and is not positive.

We learn to give ourselves what we
need in a gentle, loving, compassionate
way. We do this with the understanding
it will not make us lazy, spoiled, self-
centered, or narcissistic. Nurtured
people are effective in their work and
in their relationships.

We will learn to feel loved by ourselves
so much that we can truly love others
and let them love us.
