OWNING OUR POWER:


We do not have to be so victimized by
life, by people, by situations, by work,
by our friends, by our love relationships,
by our family, by ourselves, our feelings,
our thoughts, our circumstances.

Yes, admitting and accepting
powerlessness is important. But that is a
first step, an introduction to this business
of recovery. Later, comes owning our
power. Changing what we can. This is as
important as admitting and accepting
powerlessness.

We can own our power, wherever we are,
wherever we go, whoever we are with.
We do not have to stand there with our
hands tied, groveling helplessly,
submitting to whatever comes along.
There are things we can do. We can
speak up. Solve the problem.

We can make ourselves feel good. We
can walk away. We can come back on
our terms. We can refuse to let others
control and manipulate us.

We can do what we need to do to take
care of ourselves. That is the beauty,
the reward the crown of victory we are
given in this process called recovery. If
we can't do anything about the
circumstance, we can change our
attitude. We can do the work within:
courageously face our issues so we are
not victimized.
