Bill Says: (A Blog About Recovery): PROBLEMS:

Many of us were raised with the
belief that having a problem is
something to be ashamed of.

This belief can stop us from
identifying our problems; it can
make us feel alienated and inferior
when we have, or someone we love
has a problem.

Problems are part of life. So are
solutions. People have problems,
but we, and our self-esteem, are
separate from our problems.

I've yet to meet a person who didn't
have problems to solve.

We are more than our problems.
Even if our problem is our own
behavior, the problem is not who we
are – it's what we did. There is a
difference.

It's okay to have problems. It's okay
to talk about problems – at
appropriate times, and with safe
people, It's okay to solve problems.

And we're okay, even when we have,
or someone we love, has a problem.
We don't have to forfeit our personal
power or our self-esteem.
