~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ 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 woulds? 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.

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.
