Playing The Victim by Jamie Lee Beals
Are we playing the victim?
Are we blaming others for our situation or making excuses for why things aren't going
the way we want them to? Sometimes it's easy to fall into the victim role, especially in
recovery. It's so hard to own our stuff!
But when we do, it's so liberating and empowering!
Playing the victim is a decision. It is a decision to not live authentically, to deflect our
troubles on something or someone else. Playing the victim is the easy way out.
Recovery isn't about the easy way out. It's about reclaiming our lives, reclaiming all
of who we are. Playing the victim is about choosing to stay in the role of the submissive
person who has no control whereas recovery is about making a conscious decision to change
our life. To take control and fully become who we are meant to be.
What would it be like to say,
"Yeah, I'm having a crappy day and it's because I made some bad decisions"
Or saying
"Why is this happening to me, why doesn't anything ever work out?"
I know exactly what this is like. When I say the first choice, it is easy to remember that
I am responsible for myself, I am in control of how my day goes, I am the master of my
destiny and the choices I make for myself will determine how successful and happy I am.
When I say the second thing, it completely shuts down my personal accountability. I step
out of living authentically. And what happens is I start to feel worse and worse, because I
don't feel like I am in control of my life, or have any say over what happens to me.
It's really easy to get sucked into the victim role.
When we switch from a victim mentality to an empowered one, problems become opportunities.
It's easy to get excited about life and start welcoming and actually enjoying challenges instead of
wondering why things never work out for us all the time. This shift in perspective and attitude
will change our life and our ability to live fully as who we want to be.
Are we playing the victim today?

Signing up for another 24 hours of beautiful sobriety, unfortunately my partner starting drinking again after nearly 4 months, please God he will manage to stop again and that his drinking does not escalate, I will be wary as I certainly do not want to drink again 23.00 xx
