WANTS:


In recovery, we learn that it is
important to identify what we want
and need. Where does this concept
leave us? With a large but clearly
identified package of currently unmet
wants and needs.

This can be a frustrating, painful,
annoying, and sometimes obsession-
producing place to be.

After identifying our wants and needs,
there is a next step in getting our
wants and needs met. This step is one
of the spiritual ironies of recovery.

We let them go, we give them up – on
a mental, emotional, spiritual, and
physical level. Sometimes, this means
we need to give up.

I don't know why the process works
this way.

I know only that this is how the
process works for me. I have found no
way around the concept of letting go.

We often can have what we really want
and need, or something better. Letting
go is part of what we do to get it.
