Learn to Trust

Developing trust is crucial in sobriety. Growing up with an addicted parent can leave emotional scars. You may have felt shame or that you are not good enough. Because these feelings are part of our development, they may seem so natural we don't recognize how destructive they can be. People try to turn their lives over to God, or try to confide in another, but seem unable to do so. They do not realize it is because they never learned how to trust. Attending meetings of Children of Addicts can improve recovery by helping remove some of the obstacles to effective working of the Twelve Steps.
