DETACHMENT:
The process of letting go can be confusing to many of us.
When are we doing too much or trying too hard to control
situations and outcomes? When are we doing too little?
When is what we're doing an appropriate part of taking
care of ourselves? What is our responsibility, and what isn't?
These issues can challenge us whether we've been in
recovery ten days or ten years. Sometimes, we may let go
so much that we neglect responsibility to ourselves or
others. Other times, we may cross the line from taking
care of ourselves to controlling others and outcomes.
There is no rule book. But we don't have to make ourselves
crazy; we don't have to be so afraid. We don't have to do
recovery perfectly. If it feels like we need to do a particular
action, we can do it. If no action feels timely or inspired,
don't act on the situation.
Having and setting healthy boundaries – isn't a tidy process.
We can give ourselves permission to experiment, to make
mistakes.
We can talk to people, ask questions and question ourselves.
If there's something we need to do or learn, it will become
apparent. Lessons don't go away. If we're not taking care of
ourselves enough, we'll see that. If we are being too
controlling, we'll grow to understand that too.
