We Need The Wood!

How many of us have been told to “come down off the cross, we need the wood!” Why???
“A martyr is a person who is put to death or endures suffering because of a belief, principle or cause.”
Outside of an academic or religious context, the word “martyr” is used ironically in casual conversation to refer to someone who seeks attention or sympathy by exaggerating the impact upon themselves of some deprivation or work.”
Recovery is the time to let this go! Don’t believe you have a case? Well…
Search the deepest, darkest corners of your “stock room” and see if you find a sneaky little devil hiding in there who tells you that you deserve bad things in life. Who tells you that you don’t deserve good things in life. Who attempts to convince you that God doesn’t love you and that is why you are meant to suffer. After all, it is your fate.
LIES!!!
I Am A Worthwhile Person!
Listen to your Higher Power when He/She tells you that! Hear your worthiness. Know love…

Yep – what happened to you would have been a perfect excuse to look for martyrdom wouldn’t it?
And you didn’t have to go there this time!
You have also blessed many – and many have blessed us
