January 30

Do unto others…

Snapping at a friend usually leads to them snapping back. That’s expected. When we accuse someone, they’re likely to defend themselves and argue. No surprise there either.

But when we show love and kindness, it tends to come back to us in the same way. So, why is it sometimes harder to express love? A lot of us fear rejection. Offering love when we’re scared it won’t be returned makes us feel vulnerable. But the ideas we’re learning in this program can help us realize that we usually get back what we put out. It’s like a balance. Keeping this in mind before reacting to others can bring more peace into our lives.

…

Today’s Affirmation:

I will know what to expect from others today by how I treat them. I pray to be kind and loving.

A Life Of My Own

Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a stable force in the recovery of many alcoholics worldwide. With over nine million copies in print (the original text has been revised), this “little book” offers daily thoughts, meditations, and prayers for living a clean and sober life. It is a spiritual resource with practical applications in our daily lives.

Karen Casey is also the best-selling author of Each Day a New Beginning, a daily meditation for Women. She has spoken on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth for more than twenty years. Casey is passionate about helping others in the Twelve Step support groups, where her own recovery from addiction began more than three decades ago.
