I AM ME AND I AM OKAY!

[MajestyJo]

Progress not perfection....

It’s Okay…
It’s okay to stop the enabling and detach with love.

It’s okay to set boundaries.

It’s okay to say “No” and to make “No” a complete sentence.

It’s okay to change my mind.

It’s okay to have a “slip” and revert back to old behaviors.

It’s okay to take care of myself and to engage in what some
(outside of the program) might call “selfish” behavior.

It’s okay to work my Al-Anon program my way in my own time
and to know that I will never do it perfectly and that all I can
hope for is progress.

It’s okay to believe that I’m going to be “okay”.

It’s okay to back off from an argument or disagreement by
saying, “You may be right” instead of being determined to “win”.

It’s okay to forgive myself, understanding that I did the best
I could at the time.

It’s okay to “take what I like and leave the rest”.

It’s okay to define my Higher Power exactly as I wish and to
know that mine doesn’t have to match yours.
