We feel and it’s okay
 
This video helps me a lot. Remember we are not meant to numb ourselves with drugs and alcohol. We are meant to FEEL, it’s okay. Numbing yourself is not living. Sadness, pain, joy, boredom, frustration.... feel it don’t hide from it.

Thanks Mariposa, this is a really important message. It's at the root of my own recovery efforts, learning to keep moving forward *with* the uncomfortable feelings, rather than trying to dull them or run from them.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Helps me realize that I'm not this feeling. It is not Who I Am. It's one brush stroke on the canvas of Life, being painted Now. And it will pass, and another will begin.

I wanna finish the whole thing with the most beautiful picture I can create to hang on the Wall :)
