RECOVERY:


Often, our accusations are justified. We probably
are feeling hurt and frustrated. In these moments,
we may begin to believe that the solution to our
pain and frustration is getting the other person to do
what we want. But these self-defeating illusions put
the power and control of our life in other people's hands.

The solution to our pain and frustration, however valid,
is to acknowledge our own feelings. We feel the anger,
the grief; then we let go of the feelings and find peace
– within ourselves.

Then we decide that although we'd like our situation to
be different, maybe our life is happening this way for a
reason.

Then we decide what we need to do, what is within our
power to do to take care of ourselves. That's called
recovery.

It's easy to point our finger at another, but it's more
rewarding to gently point it at ourselves.
