November 2

REFLECTION FOR TODAY

Yesterday I had a "slip." I let my feelings run amok. Feelings I had not felt for a long time surfaced. It frightened me to realize these feelings are still with me and that I have not been "cured." I must remember it is human to have lapses and to concern myself with doing well today and not worrying about yesterday. Feeling guilty does not make me noble or solve any of my problems. Guilt only drags me down.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY

May I forgive myself, as I know You have forgiven me.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

Human feelings are okay for me to have because I am human, thank God.

February 25

REFLECTION FOR TODAY

If I have been working my program so long I think my bad times are over and I can control my life and my emotions, then I am probably close to a slip. None of us is immune to slipping. If I think I no longer need help, I may already be in trouble. I will always be powerless over my emotions. But as long as I take good care of myself and deal with my negative attitudes, I can have serenity.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY

May I take joy and pride in my emotional stability, but may my Higher Power also protect me from smugness.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

I am powerless over my emotions.
