OWNING OUR POWER:


We do not have to be so victimized by
life, by people, by situations, by work,
by our friends, by our love
relationships, by our family, by
ourselves, our feelings, our thoughts,
our circumstances.

Yes, admitting and accepting
powerlessness is important. But that is
a first step, an introduction to this
business of recovery. Later, comes
owning our power. Changing what we
can. This is as important as admitting
and accepting powerlessness.

We can own our power, wherever we
are, wherever we go, whoever we are
with. We do not have to stand there
with our hands tied, groveling
helplessly, submitting to whatever
comes along. There are things we
can do. We can speak up. Solve the
problem.

We can make ourselves feel good.
We can walk away. We can come
back on our terms. We can refuse to
let others control and manipulate us.

We can do what we need to do to
take care of ourselves. That is the
beauty, the reward the crown of
victory we are given in this process
called recovery. If we can't do
anything about the circumstance,
we can change our attitude. We
can do the work within:
courageously face our issues so we
are not victimized.
