TRUST AGAIN:


Some of us tried to trust untrustworthy
people. We believed lies and promises.
Some of us tried to trust other people,
for instance, trusting a practicing
alcoholic to come home when they say
they will.

Some of us trusted our Higher Power
inappropriately. We trusted our Higher
Power to make other people do what
we wanted, then felt betrayed when that
didn't work out.

In recovery, we're healing from our trust
issues. We're learning to trust again. We
can learn to trust ourselves. We can be
trusted. If others have taught us we
cannot trust ourselves, they were lying.
Addictions and dysfunctional systems
can cause people to lie.

We can trust the process – of life and
recovery. We do not have to control,
obsess, or become hyper vigilant. We
may not always understand where we
are in the process, or what's being
worked out in us, but we can trust that
something good is happening.

As we learn to do this, we are ready to
learn to trust other people. When we
trust our Higher Power and when we
trust ourselves, we will know whom to
trust and what to trust.
