RECOVERY 3 – RESPECT

Some individuals are so wrapped up in themselves that they do not have the time to see, understand or feel empathy for others or what is going on around them.

Their grandiosity does not allow them to build the communication skills or compassion needed to build strong relationships, therefore, they do not gain respect from other people.

They do not know or understand that the ability to respect others is a sign of maturity and a step towards freedom from the “bad” side of their character.

For people in recovery, it is extremely important to develop a sense of respect not only for themselves but, even more importantly, for others in order to start living a more healthy, happy, sober life.
