WHO YOU ARE:


In recovery, we're learning a new behavior.

For some of us, this can be frightening. What would
happen if we felt what we felt, said what we wanted,
became firm about our beliefs, and valued what we
needed? Would people still like us? Would they go away?
Would they become angry?

It becomes time to stop allowing ourselves to be so
controlled by others and their expectations and be true
to ourselves – regardless of the reaction of others.

Before long, we begin to understand. Some people may
go away, but the relationship would have ended anyway.
Some people stay and love and respect us more for
taking the risk of being who we are. We begin to achieve
intimacy, and relationships that work.

We discover that who we are has always been good
enough. It is who we were intended to be.
