True Relationships Don't Come Easily

Chemically dependent people often have problems with relationships. A relationship between two people is a give and take. Each person reacts to the other, and there is flexibility, whereby each gives and receives, and both become enriched. When a relationship is in only one direction, it is not a relationship at all. If we are only taking or only giving, we become so rigid we lose all capacity for adjustment, and we repeat the same situation. Learn to give of yourself, to accept from others, and to be flexible. You can have a truly meaningful relationship.
