Recovery teaches us, and sometimes forces us to trust.  We learn to trust others. We learn to trust ourselves.  We learn to trust an ongoing process of renewal.  We give ourselves over to uncertainty, free fall and the care of a Higher Power. Trust is active, not passive.  It emboldens us to speak up, to take a stand, to make decisions, and to move forward into a future we can neither foresee nor control. It prompts us to take one leap of faith after another.  There’s no one more important to trust than yourself. How can we learn to trust ourselves and practice the principle of trust, when that hasn't been our experience of ourselves, relationships or the world?
