Accountability for our actions is pivotal in our recovery because it takes us from a state of helplessness to active empowerment. Taking ownership helps build honesty, integrity, and trust within relationships. It is empowering!

Owning Our Part

Part of my recovery work—in the past and into the present—is to understand where I have done harm in situations or relationships. When I first got into recovery, my first instinct was to deflect and blame everyone but myself for all the messes in my life. After a while, I swung the other way and took ownership of and responsibility for more than what was mine to hold. I have since learned how to put situations in perspective and find appropriate balance. I have learned that there is a fine line between figuring out what our part is in any given situation and letting people off the hook who don't deserve to be set free. Today, I find it easier to own my own part when something goes sideways in my life or if I hurt another being through words or action. Recovery is about taking responsibility for our part in things, and I'm here for it.

I remain open to examining where my actions cause harm—to myself or to others.

The Possibility of a Higher Power

I was introduced to the concept and value of having a higher power early in my recovery when I embarked on my Twelve Step journey. I didn't believe in a higher power at the time and thought I could recover without one. But the people around me were annoyingly persistent and goaded me into trying to believe in something—anything—outside of myself. In my desperation to stop hurting and to get them to leave me alone, I started to experiment. I was informed that my higher power could be anything, so my first one was a small, shiny black rock. Although it felt like complete hogwash, I prayed over the rock for a period of several days. Then I lost the rock. My second higher power was the "universe," which felt more than a little helpful when I practiced "giving things over." Although my higher power remains ever-evolving, I have figured out that the people in my circle were right: believing that there is a force outside of me that I can turn to is an enormous help in my recovery.

Believing in something outside of myself can bring me back to myself.

No one really likes change. It's scary. We're not in control of what happens, so we don't know the outcome. Change isn't always bad. Think about the times you wish something had gone your way, but the universe had other plans. Did it end up terribly? Were you able to make it through? Faith over Fear

Accepting Change

The winds of change blow through our life, sometimes gently, sometimes like a tropical storm. Yes, we have resting places - time to adjust to another level of living, time to get our balance, time to enjoy the rewards. We have time to catch our breath.

But change is inevitable and desirable.

Sometimes, when the winds of change begin to rustle, we're not certain the change is for the better. We may call it stress or a temporary condition, certain we'll be restored to normal. Sometimes, we resist. We tuck our head down and buck the wind, hoping that things will quickly calm down, get back to the way things were. Is it possible we're being prepared for a new normal?

Change will sweep through our life, as needed, to take us where we're going. We can trust that our Higher Power has a plan in mind, even when we don't know where the changes are leading.

We can trust that the change-taking place is good. The wind will take us where we need to go.

Today, help me, God, to let go of my resistance to change. Help me be open to the process. Help me believe that the place I'll be dropped off will be better than the place where I was picked up. Help me surrender, trust, and accept, even if I don't understand.

Sponsorship is a cornerstone of recovery. This is the type of service work that helps you and others. Working the 12 steps with a sponsor fosters self-awareness and emotional resilience.

Find a Buddy (Anybuddy)

I strongly believe that having even just one friend in recovery is incredibly helpful to our recovery. Depending on what sort of recovery journey you are on, you may be familiar with the concept of having a "sponsor" or a "mentor" or maybe even just an "accountability buddy." All such relationships can be helpful. If you are in Twelve Step recovery, the pressure to "get a sponsor" can invite a lot of anxiety. You should take your time picking out someone to work the Steps with (which is the purpose of a having a sponsor). If you are in a different recovery community, you might think about asking someone with more experience to mentor you, or somebody with the same amount of experience as you to be your accountability buddy. I've seen miraculous things happen when women join forces to help each other stay the course. You should also know that you don't need to establish formal relationships if you aren't ready for a sponsor, mentor, or accountability buddy. Maybe just ask someone if you can text them once in a while or have coffee or go for a walk. The main point here is that everybody deserves a buddy in recovery. And I'm sure there is someone out there who would love to be yours.

There are other women out there looking for the same level of connection as you are. May you find each other.

Self-Sabotage

Self-sabotage is a form of self-harm. We self-sabotage because we are afraid of failure; we feel undeserving of success or unworthy of going after or having good or even wonderful things. As author Alyce Cornyn-Selby wrote, "Self-sabotage is when we want something and then go about making sure it doesn't happen." Self-sabotage can show up in our work or our art, in our relationships or in those promises to ourselves that we just can't seem to keep. Some of the self-defeating behaviors that we employ as self-sabotage include procrastination, perfectionism, avoidance, self-medicating, disorganization, starting fights, micromanaging, negative self-talk, mindlessly scrolling through the internet, and even paralysis. The best cure for self-sabotage is to recognize our negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones, and then take small but consistent positive actions in the direction of our goals or dreams. Stopping any self-harming behavior that we've been engaging in for a long time is hard. But, as our friend and fellow recovering woman Glennon Doyle regularly reminds us (and it's also the name of her podcast), we can do hard things.

Believing that we are worthy and deserving of what we desire is half the battle.
