MOVING ON:

Sometimes, as part of taking care of
ourselves, it becomes time to end certain

relationships. Sometimes, it comes time to
change the parameters of a particular
relationship.

Sometimes, we linger in relationships that
are dead, out of fear of being alone or to
postpone the inevitable grieving process
that accompanies endings. Sometimes, we
need to linger for a while, to prepare
ourselves, to get strong enough to handle
the change.

Knowing that a relationship is changing or
is about to end is a difficult place to be in,
especially when it is not yet time to act but
we know the time is drawing near. It can be
awkward and uncomfortable. We may
become impatient, but not yet feel
empowered to do that. That's okay.
Something important is still happening.
When the time is right, we can trust that it
will happen. We will receive the power and
the ability to do what we need to do.

Ending relationships or changing the
boundaries of a particular relationship is
not easy. It requires courage and faith. It
requires a willingness on our part to take
care of ourselves and, sometimes, to
stand alone for a while.

We are never starting over. In recovery,
we are moving forward in a perfectly

planned progression of lessons. When the
lesson has been mastered, we will move
on. We will find ourselves in a new place,
learning new lessons, with new people.

No, the lessons are not all painful. We will
arrive at that place where we can learn,
not from pain, but from joy and love.
