Today I have continued to feel sad and sorry for myself. However, I did get several things accomplished which I had to really push myself to do. I wanted to share today's daily meditation from Answers in the Heart because it's extremely applicable to me right now!
OCTOBER 8
The world was always yours; you would not take it. — Archibald MacLeish
It’s possible during a difficult time to become sidetracked in self-pity, anxiety, anger, or fear. It can be easier to do that than to look honestly at our responsibilities today. When we feel ourselves spiraling down, possibly into our addiction to sex, it’s time to ask some hard questions. What will I choose today? Am I willing to take care of myself before I take care of anyone or anything else? Is there a Step I can work, something I can do to stay connected to my recovery program? The answers are within us. We have infinite inner resources and potential. We have people to whom we can reach out. We have our Higher Power, and we have a commitment to ourselves. Through all of these, we will find the hope and encouragement we need, just for today.
I may feel like I’m swimming against the tide, and that’s all right. All I have to do is my best.
