11/16/2020
If you’ve spent any time in the rooms of recovery, you’re familiar with the phrase “God Box.” It’s a box, whether literal or metaphorical, where we can place something outside of our control.

Why do so many of us struggle to say no? For most of us, “no” is the first word we learned to say, and we said it so well as toddlers. And the thing is, it’s not so much the word itself; the difficulty with no is holding your ground.
