oh you are wise.
i really needed to read this. thank you.
feeling my feelings is so important to my recovery. if i try to deny my sadness or anger or despair, i will act out in other ways. if i let myself feel, it will pass. the next feeling will come and it will pass, too.
it is so sad what this lousy disease does to lives. i am feeling a lot of sadness today myself for the sober A in my life who is showing all of the "ism" without the drinking. it's destructive.
i am so grateful to be able to share with others. this is such a lifeline between meetings!
