Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Freedom
Many of us were oppressed and victimized as children. As adults, we may continue to keep ourselves oppressed.
Some of us don’t recognize that caretaking and not setting boundaries will leave us feeling victimized.
Some of us don’t understand that thinking of ourselves, as victims will leave us feeling oppressed.
Some of us don’t know that we hold the key to our own freedom. That key is honoring ourselves, and taking care of ourselves.
We can say what we mean, and mean what we say.
We can stop waiting for others to give us what we need and take responsibility for ourselves. When we do, the gates to freedom will swing wide.
Walk through.
Today, I will understand that I hold the key to my freedom. I will stop participating in my oppression and victimization. I will take responsibility for myself, and let others do as they may.
