Leave yourself alone.
~ Jenny Janacek ~
We often pick on ourselves. We put our-selves down. But doing this isn’t part of our recovery. In fact, it goes against our Program. Our program is based on loving care. We have turned our lives over to a caring, loving Higher Power who will give us the answers.
We are told Easy Does It. We back off. As recovering addicts, we learn not to judge. Instead, we learn to be kind to ourselves. Our job is not to figure out the world, but to add more love to it. Let’s start with ourselves.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, stop me from judging. Help me know what You want me to do. Help me work Steps Two and Three.
Action for the Day
Today, I’ll leave myself alone. I will remember that picking on myself is another form of control.
