July 29 - The feeling of self-pity, which we've all felt at one time or
another, is one of the ugliest emotions we can experience. We don't
even relish the thought of admitting to others that we're awash in
self-pity. We hate being told that it shows; we quickly argue that
we're feeling another emotion instead; we go so far as to hide -
cleverly - from ourselves the fact that we're going through a siege of
"poor-meism". By the same token, in a split second we can easily find
several dozen "valid" reasons for feeling sorry for ourselves.Do I sometimes enjoy rubbing salt into my own wounds?
Today I Pray - May I recognize the emotions I am feeling for what they are. If I am unable to point them out to myself, may I count on others who know what it's like to be a feelings-stuffer. May I stay in touch with my feelings by staying in touch with my Higher Power and with the others in my group.
Today I Will Remember - Stay in touch.
