Most people living in one day at a time recovery understand that they are allowed to have feelings. We do understand that feelings are not always factual but we really must acknowledge another person’s feelings without automatic dismissal. Sometimes others just need to be heard. If we don’t listen without prejudice others might feel as if their feelings do not matter especially with the implications of “So What”. Feelings matter. Even if they are misgiving. This is why many recovering people have mentors and advisors. It’s to help us untangle the webs of reality and navigate our thoughts and emotions. We all need to realize we all matter. It’s all about grace. Peace.
