Hazelden...A day at a time.
June 12th 2024.
Reflection for the Day.
Many of us have had difficulty ridding ourselves of the ravages of guilt. In my own case,during the early days in the program. I either misunderstood certain of the steps,or tried to apply them too quickly and too eagerly. The result was that I increased my feelings of guilt and worthlessness,rather than freeing myself ,as the steps intend.
Soon ,though, I became at least willing to forgive myself,and I made a new beginning(odaat).
I undertook all the soul searching and cleansing steps,in our program,as they were intended to be taken, and not from a below- ground position of crippling hate and guilt.
Have I made amends to myself.
Today I Pray.
May I forgive myself,as God has forgiven Me.May I know that if I am hanging on to an old satchel full of guilt,then I am not following the example ,He has shown me.
If God can forgive Me----and He has demonstrated His forgiveness by leading me to this healing place---then so can I.
May I not begrudge myself what he has so generously offered.
Today I will Remember.
God forgives;so must I.
You are No Longer Alone.
The reading list, odaat is.

1/ Hazelden...A day at a time.
