I have started reading a little of the ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) literature. One of the books that I got is a Daily Affirmations type book called Strengthening My Recovery. The passage today really resonated with me:
“We know we can be gentle with ourselves, that some of the work will become a habit after time, and that some of the work will have a different feel at different stages of our recovery. We practice patience and tolerance with ourselves, and softly allow the spiritual experience to flow naturally and easily.”
Wow.
