NURTURING:


Nurturing is neither silly nor self-indulgent; it's how
we show love for ourselves. That's what we're striving
for in recovery – a loving relationship with ourselves
that works.

We rest when we're tired; eat when we're hungry; have
fun or relax when our spirits need a lift.

We learn to be gentle with ourselves and to open up to
the nurturing that others have to offer us.

As part of nurturing ourselves, we allow ourselves to
give and receive positive touch – touch that feels
appropriate to us, touch that is safe. We reject touch
that doesn't feel good or safe and is not positive.

We learn to give ourselves what we need in a gentle,
loving, compassionate way. We do this with the
understanding it will not make us lazy, spoiled, self-
centered, or narcissistic. Nurtured people are effective
in their work and in their relationships.

We will learn to feel loved by ourselves so much that
we can truly love others and let them love us.
