TRUST AGAIN:


Some of us tried to trust
untrustworthy people. We believed
lies and promises. Some of us tried to
trust other people, for instance,
trusting a practicing alcoholic to come
home when they say they will.

Some of us trusted our Higher Power
inappropriately. We trusted our Higher
Power to make other people do what
we wanted, then felt betrayed when
that didn't work out.

In recovery, we're healing from our
trust issues. We're learning to trust
again. We can learn to trust ourselves.
We can be trusted. If others have
taught us we cannot trust ourselves,
they were lying. Addictions and
dysfunctional systems can cause
people to lie.

We can trust the process – of life and
recovery. We do not have to control,
obsess, or become hyper vigilant. We
may not always understand where we
are in the process, or what's being
worked out in us, but we can trust
that something good is happening.

As we learn to do this, we are ready
to learn to trust other people. When
we trust our Higher Power and when
we trust ourselves, we will know
whom to trust and what to trust.
