The Promises of ACOA
.
We will discover our real identities by loving and accepting ourselves.
.
Our self-esteem will increase as we give ourselves approval on a daily basis.
.
Fear of authority figures and the need to "people-please" will leave us.
.
Our ability to share intimacy will grow inside us.
.
As we face our abandonment issues, we will be attracted by strengths and become more tolerant of weaknesses.
.
We will enjoy feeling stable, peaceful, and financially secure.
.
We will learn how to play and have fun in our lives.
.
We will chose to love people who can love and be responsible 
for themselves.
.
Healthy boundaries and limits will become easier for us to set.
.
Fears of failures and success will leave us, as we intuitively make healthier choices.
.
With help from our ACA support group, we will slowly release our dysfunctional behaviors.
.
Gradually, with our Higher Power's help, we learn to expect the best and get it.
