     %GIVE GIFT RECEIVE SECURITY FREEDOM VULNERABLE 961211

     Who are involved in the giving and accepting of gifts
of   security   enjoyed  as  the  freedom  to  be   safely
vulnerable? The following are four suggestions.

     1.  Participants  seeking  earnestly to  promote  and
facilitate  personal  and communal integrity and so  being
unwilling to sacrifice them for lesser goals,  ideals  and
values.

     2.  Participants seeking to openly and honestly  know
themselves  and  each other while resolving  conflicts  to
their mutual advantage.

     3.  Participants who are willing to take risks and be
prudently   vulnerable  in  balanced  ways---but  who  are
unwilling  to  sacrifice their  own personal integrity  in
support    of  the   collusive   games   of  mutual   self
deception  which   are being played by addicts  and  their
supportive codependents.

     4.  Participants  who  are humble  enough  to  accept
gifts of true security enjoyed as the freedom to be safely
vulnerable in the presence of givers of such gifts.
