PROBLEM SOLVING:

Many of us lived in situations where it wasn't okay to
identify, have or talk about problems.

In recovery, many of us still fear problems. We may
spend more time reacting to a problem than we do solving
it. We miss the point; we miss the lesson; we miss the gift.
Problems are a part of life. So are solutions.

A problem doesn't mean life is negative or horrible.
Having a problem doesn't mean a person is deficient. All
people have problems to work through.

In recovery, we learn to focus on solving our problems.
First, we make certain the problem is our problem. If it isn't,
our problem is establishing boundaries. Then we seek the
best solution. This may mean setting a goal, asking for help,
gathering more information, taking an action, or letting go.

Recovery does not mean immunity or exemption from
problems; recovery means learning to face and solve
problems, knowing they will appear regularly. We can trust
our ability to solve problems, and know we're not doing it
alone. Having problems does not mean our Higher Power
is picking on us. Some problems are part of life; others are
ours to solve.

Face and solve today's problems. Don't worry needlessly
about tomorrow's problems, because when they appear,
we'll have the resources necessary to solve them.

Facing and solving problems – working through problems
with help from a Higher Power – means we're living and
growing and reaping benefits.
