CHOICES:


We may feel trapped in our
relationships, our jobs, our life. We
may feel locked into behaviors – such
as care taking or controlling.

When we hear ourselves say, "I have
to take care of this person…" "I have
to say yes …." "I have to try to
control that person …" "I have to
behave this way, think this way, feel
this way …" we can know we are
choosing not to see choices.

That sense of being trapped is an
illusion. We are not controlled by
circumstances, our past, the
expectations of others, or our
unhealthy expectations for
ourselves. We can choose what feels
right for us, without guilt.

Recovery is not about behaving
perfectly or according to anyone
else's rules. More than anything else,
recovery is about knowing we have
choices and giving ourselves the
freedom to choose.
