Remember . . .
Self-Pity is a negative thing in the recovery world, but self-soothing is a good thing.
How do you know the difference?
Self-pity is when you fall into despair and feel as if God has forsaken you.
Self-soothing is when you pay attention to your pain and soothe yourself with positive affirmations about your ability to survive and remember that God is with you every moment.
Self-pity is when you turn your back on God.
Self-soothing is when you reach out to God for comfort.
Self-pity is when you do something self-destructive to distract yourself from your pain.
Self-soothing is when you hang in there and reach out for what is good in your life.
Self-pity is when you hurt others out of anger at your personal situation.
Self-soothing is when you acknowledge your anger, but do not act on it. You do not harm yourself or others.
Self-pity is when you give up.
Self-soothing is when you take on a positive attitude and look for a brighter tomorrow.
Self-pity is when you refuse to accept life on life's terms.
Self-soothing is to practice acceptance.
Self-pity will hold you back and self-soothing will carry your forward to something better.
