Self-Pity is Often a Waste of Time
Even though it hurts each time we think of them, we relive painful episodes. But ruminating about painful incidents uses up time and energy that could be directed toward constructive activities. Dwelling on painful experiences is particularly dangerous for people in recovery, and if we do not discontinue it, we are prone to relapse. What can we do about this tendency to focus on pain? We can try as hard as we can to overcome it, which makes us ready to have God remove it, if only we ask Him sincerely to do so.
