Many of us living in one day at a time recovery understand that these things called feelings can be wonderful human experiences. Although having wonderful feelings can be quite joyful and positive there are some of us who live in imperfect recovery who find some of our feelings can become way too influential becoming perplexing little gremlins that can throw our lives into variating tailspins. Sometimes they are even mistaken. The reality of this is our feelings can have a disabling effect on us and can create circumstances initiating relapse back into addiction. This is reality. We need stand on guard one day at a time. Feelings are the reason many of us have support systems. Many of us join support groups to help us navigate the waters of emotions safely. Some of us reach out for professional help. We need to get out of our own heads and our own hearts from time to time to be well enough to participate in life. It’s our responsibility. Peace
