"It isn't sufficient to seek wholeness throjgh men, it never was and it never will be for any woman, married or single." {atricia O'Brien Most of us we were encouraged from childhood on o "find a husband." The message, often subtle, was nonetheless there. And many of us did marry. However, no relationship carries a lifetime guarantee. Pinning our hopes on another person keeps us fdependent; it keeps us in a "holding pattern." It keeps us from making those choices tailored to who we are and who we want to be. Our recovery as women is closely aligned with our growth in decision-making, our choosing responsible behavio and activities, our personal achievement. We do, each of us, need to discover our own wholeness. We need to celebrate our personhood. We need to cheer one another on as women recovering from an addictive past, as worthwhile women in full measure. I will respect my wholeness today. i will help another woman nurture hers.
