CHOICES:


We may feel trapped in our
relationships, our jobs, our life.
We may feel locked into
behaviors – such as care
taking or controlling.

When we hear ourselves say,
"I have to take care of this
person…" "I have to say yes
…." "I have to try to control
that person …" "I have to
behave this way, think this
way, feel this way …" we
can know we are choosing
not to see choices.

That sense of being trapped is
an illusion. We are not
controlled by circumstances,
our past, the expectations of
others, or our unhealthy
expectations for ourselves.
We can choose what feels
right for us, without guilt.

Recovery is not about
behaving perfectly or
according to anyone else's
rules. More than anything
else, recovery is about
knowing we have choices
and giving ourselves the
freedom to choose.
