NURTURING:


Nurturing is neither silly nor self-indulgent; it's
how we show love for ourselves. That's what
we're striving for in recovery – a loving
relationship with ourselves that works.

We rest when we're tired; eat when we're
hungry; have fun or relax when our spirits need
a lift.

We learn to be gentle with ourselves and to
open up to the nurturing that others have to
offer us.

As part of nurturing ourselves, we allow
ourselves to give and receive positive touch
– touch that feels appropriate to us, touch that
is safe. We reject touch that doesn't feel good
or safe and is not positive.

We learn to give ourselves what we need in a
gentle, loving, compassionate way. We do this
with the understanding it will not make us lazy,
spoiled, self-centered, or narcissistic. Nurtured
people are effective in their work and in
their relationships.

We will learn to feel loved by ourselves so
much that we can truly love others and let
them love us.
