DISCIPLINE:


Children need discipline to feel secure; so
do adults.

Discipline means taking responsibility for
our behavior and the consequences.

Discipline means learning to wait for what
we want.

Discipline means being willing to work for
and toward what we want.

Discipline means learning and practicing
new behaviors.

Discipline means being where we need to be,
when we need to be there, despite our
feelings.

Discipline is the day-to-day performing of
tasks, whether these be recovery behaviors
or washing the dishes.

Discipline involves trusting that our goals
will be reached though we cannot see them.

We may feel afraid, confused, uncertain.
Later, we will see the purpose. But this
clarity of sight usually does not come
during the time of discipline. We may not
even believe we're moving forward.

The task at hand during times of discipline
is simple: listen, trust, and obey.
