Daily reading for March 21 from “As If I Was In Your Office…”
Shame “You do not love yourself!” Don Russel – March 14, 2011.
God has a way and we went against that! People probably did hurt us, but we do not have the right to hurt someone else because someone hurt us. We have no right to take it out on others. We can verbally or physically beat on someone and, when that does not work, then we turn on ourselves. This is shameful. We did not do a lot of loveable things when in our disease. We need to deal with that shame, or it will be a self-pity trip for the rest of our days. We could not hold our head up. We hurt our bodies a lot because we do not have a lot of concern for ourselves. We do not care. Then we need something that will make us feel good like booze or drugs or sex or food. We do not care because we feel like rotten human beings.
That was not the way it was supposed to be. That is not the way God created us to be. We need forgiveness from one another to let the shame go.
My commitment today is to share the shame until forgiveness comes in.

Featured Testimonial
By coming to Family Support meetings with an open heart, I found a support system like no others. Brentwood staff have continued to work with my son in his Recovery while I worked my own program. This has allowed us to celebrate and grow in recovery as a family. I will be forever grateful to Brentwood!
