This evening I am posting yesterday's daily meditation from Answers in the Heart. I have both work and school work to do this evening. Ahhhh, the pressure!!!!
SEPTEMBER 2
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. — Eleanor Roosevelt
Even though we deny it, we still may secretly want to be hurt by others, since, in some obscure way, we think we deserve it. As addicts we had lost our good opinion of ourselves; we often indulged in actions that placed us in situations of humiliation and debasement. It is a sad truth that sex addicts can feel comfortable there, and find release from tension in degrading acts. Let’s resolve to reject humiliation. We are learning, by talking with others, that life is rich and varied and open — and we want to join in. We do not have to continue to find false comfort and release in acts that come back to haunt and humiliate us. There is no more room in our lives for feelings of inferiority and worthlessness. Our program helps us gain self-esteem and a sense of the true value of our lives.
I don’t wish to be humiliated by situations and by other people. I deserve to do what makes me feel good about myself.
