Fake it till You Make It
Took me a while to get this, I used to say Yuk!
But if your having trouble feeing the love or like me don't know how to act or feel then Fake it til you make it.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although, that may get you into trouble these days. Act as if...believe as if...and pattern your behavior based on the behaviors of those who have a solid sober foundation.
I was defiantly sober for about the first 9 months. Then my 1 year came around...then my 18 month landmark went by...then my 6th year went by...

I hope you didn't take that previous post the wrong way. I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong. Not at all. I kinda had to fake my way thru the first few weeks anyway. And I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination! You've been thru a lot, Kev. I admire you for your tenacity and honesty.

Thanks Nog..
For the reminder..of this great concept. I have been turning everything over...but still
walking around heavy hearted. (A build up of stress hormone)
And today went quite well actually!
Faking it till you make it helps to lift the spirits..and the heart, in time, a short time..
the body will react with endorphins and energy and a person will truly begin to feel physically and
mentally better.

This reminds me of something a teacher told my trig class in high school. "First rule: Look good. Second rule: Be good." His point was that if you can look good people will think you have your act together, whether that's true or not. And eventually, if you look good doing something, you'll probably catch on about how to do it and then you can be good. That's how staying clean works for me. I tell myself and everyone else I don't want dope, and slowly, slowly, slowly, it's starting to be true.
