TRUST AGAIN:


Some of us tried to trust untrustworthy people. We believed
lies and promises. Some of us tried to trust other people, for
instance, trusting a practicing alcoholic to come home when
they say they will.

Some of us trusted our Higher Power inappropriately. We
trusted our Higher Power to make other people do what we
wanted, then felt betrayed when that didn't work out.

In recovery, we're healing from our trust issues. We're
learning to trust again. We can learn to trust ourselves. We
can be trusted. If others have taught us we cannot trust
ourselves, they were lying. Addictions and dysfunctional
systems can cause people to lie.

We can trust the process – of life and recovery. We do not
have to control, obsess, or become hyper vigilant. We may
not always understand where we are in the process, or
what's being worked out in us, but we can trust that
something good is happening.

As we learn to do this, we are ready to learn to trust other
people. When we trust our Higher Power and when we
trust ourselves, we will know whom to trust and what to trust.
