May 31, 2019 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Friday, May 31, 2019
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

How much bondage and suffering a woman escapes when she takes the liberty of being her own physician of both body and soul. — Elizabeth Cady Stanton

If we listen to ourselves, to the innermost voice of our Spirits, we know that we have the power to heal ourselves. Self-healing begins with making our own decisions—about what we wear, what we do, who we are—and deciding that we will be true to ourselves. With the help of our spiritual guide, we can resist the temptations to betray ourselves, for these temptations are born of fear; the fear that we are not good enough to be our “own physicians.”

To give away our powers bind us and cause us to suffer. But we can go to others for help without losing our own strength.

Today and every day, I will pray for the wisdom to choose wise counselors and the strength to love and heal myself.
