   YOU have the right to be who you want to be and live the way you 

                                      want to live 



    An excerpt from Step  13 of the ASCA Survivor to Thriver Manual , 

                    including some tips for being your best.  



   Make conscious choices about your life, free of guilt and the lack of 

entitlement that characterized your past. Be the person you want to be, 

 to live the life you want to live and be treated the way you want to be 

  treated. Your true identity as a person will continue to emerge. How 

amazing you are! While aggressiveness rarely gets you what you want, 

  assertiveness is a skill and a tool that can help you in your daily life.
