resources...

...the other side of our inventory


anyone in traditional 12 step
programs, has made one or several
lists of character flaws and defects.

helpful yes, to a point.

for many years I had never been
encouraged to list and call upon
my assets and resources, as a
means of addressing addiction.

we all have life resources that
should be drawn from when
dealing with any addiction.

inventory what you have, what
might be improved and what you
might acquire.

among these are; skills & talents,
family & friends, social skills,
self-management, sports &
recreation and spiritual pursuits.

we have all been made well aware
of our shortcomings-
isn't it time to examine the positive
side our inventory?
