GATZOS have learned through hard experience that Recovery comes from the true child within.

GATZOS have learned through hard experience that Recovery comes from the true child within.  From this knowledge, integrated deeply into them, they now engage in a recovery adventure with themselves and with truth.  They no longer expect others to fulfil the unmet needs of childhood or to heal the deficits they carried from their parents.  They consciously recover themselves and the developing child within them.  They have relinquished the childish fantasy that another is coming to rescue them through romantic love.  Thus they embody the following truth:  that each of us, individually, is the real recovery in our own life.  They give and receive recovery to themselves first, and form bonds with others only as a secondary consequence of this.  Their deepest sense of oneness comes not with another but with their own true selves.  This is recovery with the child within.  The child within s recovery is what our wounded self most desperately craves:  new consciousness, new wisdom, and new right action.  And when we do form bonds with others, they give without expectation and they receive with open heart.
