~~SPIRITUAL~~ A DAY AT A TIME
08-05 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Among the important things we learn in The Program is to be good to ourselves. For so many of us, though, this is a surprisingly difficult thing to do. Some of us relish our suffering so much that we balloon each happening to enormous proportions in the reliving and telling. Self pitiers are drawn to martyrdom as if by a powerful magnet -- until the joys of serenity and contentment come to them through The Program and Twelve Steps. AM I GRADUALLY LEARNING TO BE GOOD TO MYSELF?
TODAY I PRAY
May I learn to forgive myself. I have asked - and received - forgiveness from God and from others, so why is it so hard to forgive myself? Why do I still magnify my suffering? Why do I go on licking my emotional wounds? May I follow God's forgiving example, get on with The Program and learn to be good to myself.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Martyrdom; martyr dumb.
hugs with love

Good Morning Rhonda,
Forgiving myself has been such a challenge in recovery. Somedays I am okay, but some I beat myself up for the past. Progress not perfection is my goal, though my black and white thinking wants to forgive myself and never look back and be perfect in this recovery.
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
