BEING RIGHT:

Recovery is about allowing ourselves to
be who we are and accepting others as

they are.

That concept may be difficult for some
of us if we have lived in systems that

function on the "right-wrong" principle.
The person who was right was okay; the
person who was wrong was not okay.
Value and worth may have depended on

being right; to be wrong meant
annihilation of self and self-esteem.

We are learning how to strive for love in
our relationships, not superiority. Yes,
we may need to make decisions about
people's behavior from time to time. If
someone is hurting us, we need to stand
up for ourselves. We have a responsibility
to take care of ourselves. But we do not
need to justify taking care of ourselves by
condemning someone else. We can avoid
the trap of focusing on others instead of
ourselves.

We are learning that what we do needs to
be right only for us. What others do is their
business and needs to be to be right only
for them. It's tempting to rest in the
superiority of being right and in analyzing
other people's motives and actions.
