  • Past behavior can result in shame, humiliation, anger and feelings of being manipulated
  • Learning how to communicate well and honestly can change your life
  • This means looking at what you say to yourself as well as other people
  • This means not rushing into new relationships while you are in rehab or early recovery
  • Take time to learn and heal
