EXPERIMENT:


In our younger years, many of us were
deprived of the right to experiment.
Many of us are depriving ourselves of the
right to experiment and learn as adults.

The time to experiment is now. It's an
important part of recovery. Let
yourself try things. Let yourself try
something new. Yes, you will make
mistakes. But from those mistakes, you
can learn what your values are.

Some things we just won't like. Then
we'll know a little more about who we
are.

Some things we will like. They will work
with who we are, and we can discover
something important and life-enriching.

There are quiet times in recovery, times
to stand still and heal, times to give
ourselves a cooling-off period. These can
be times of introspection and healing.

There also comes a time when it is
equally important to experiment, to begin
to "test the water."

Recovery means learning to live and
learning to live fully. Recovery means
being done with the rigid, shame-based
rules from the past, and formulating
healthy values based on self-love, love for
others, and living in harmony with the
world.
