Healing

When we begin to heal, we begin to substitute honesty for self-destructive ways of expressing emotions and feelings.  We learn to avoid situations that may put us at risk physically, morally, psychologically or spiritually. We learn to accept and love ourselves, to take responsibility for our own lives, and to take care of our own needs before involving ourselves with others. We become willing to ask for help, allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and learning to trust and accept others.

One may think that the SLAA fellowship is to help us stop acting out with everything else unchanged.  Rather, it is helping our Higher Power change us so that we live life in such away so that acting out does not have to be central.
