We may enjoy the attention we receive but don't know what to do with it.

“When I'm reproached or called out for bad behavior, the sting is far greater when I know I was in the wrong.”

- John Bradshaw, 'Healing the Shame that Binds You’

My Thoughts

Many of us in early recovery are not willing or able to trust. We don't even know what trust is. We may enjoy the attention we receive but don't know what to do with it. Are people being kind to us because they want something from us? Learning who and how to trust is an important part of the recovery process.

Action for the Week

Today, I'm going to practice trust. I will take it easy, not rush, not jump to conclusions, but relax and be present.
