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.
