Healing Defective Relationships
The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, page 80, points directly at one of the places where recovery can get very real: our relationships. It says that defective relations with other people have often been an immediate cause of our troubles, including our alcoholism.
Today we’ll talk about what happens when we stop looking only at what other people did and begin examining the patterns we brought into our relationships—anger, dishonesty, selfishness, control, neglect, criticism, and the other ways we may have caused physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual harm.
Healing those relationships starts with seeing them clearly, understanding our own part, and changing the way we show up with other people.
