Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Here’s my Golden Rule: Be fair with others but then keep after them until they’re fair with you. — Alan Alda
In our illness we were often ashamed, so we let people take advantage of us. We acted as if we had no rights. In recovery, we work hard to be fair with others. And we deserve to be treated with fairness too. If people are mean to us, we talk with them about it. If people cheat us, we ask them to set it right. In recovery, we live by our human rights.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me to stand for fairness. Help me respect myself and others.
Action for the Day
Today I’ll list people who have wronged me. I will make plans to talk to those whom I feel will listen. I will let love, not shame or fear, control my actions.
