Remember Mindfulness \u2013 review expectations
Victim
For addicted people, the victim role is often their
comfort zone. A victim is never a happy person and
the term itself is not one that you would choose to
be associated with, unless you\u2019re some kind of
crazy, self-pitying masochist. That\u2019s probably why
we like it so much. It\u2019s not a happy role, but it\u2019s a
familiar one. Victims blame others for their
predicament; they will blame circumstances,
individuals or just some kind of \u2018force majeure\u2019, in
fact they\u2019ll blame anything at all, except themselves.
By doing so, they avoid criticism and are not
expected to change. But recovery is about change.
People who make a success of their recovery take to
heart the words of psychologist Carl Jung: I am
not what happened to me, I am what I choose
to become. Am I ready to stop being a victim?
Once I come out of the safe though unhappy,
comfort zone of being the victim, I can start living
life on life\u2019s terms. It takes courage but I have the
wonderful support system of the Twelve Step
fellowships to guide me and for that I am grateful.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
