Charles L. Whitfield Quote
Disowning and neglecting our own needs is intimately related to being overly-responsible. Both are part of our false self’s actions. It may be useful at this point to review Chapter 4. Some may find it helpful to make a copy of Table 2 which lists some of our human needs and to put this list where we can see it easily and often—perhaps also to carry it with us. By observing and by working on our recovery we can begin to identify people and places where we can get these needs met in a healthy manner.
