FEELINGS:

Years into recovery, we may still be battling with ourselves
about this issue, (feeling our feelings). Of all the prohibitions
we've lived with, this one is potentially the most damaging
and the most long-lived.

Many of us needed to shut down the emotional part of
ourselves to survive certain situations. We shut down the
part of us that feels anger, sadness, fear, joy, and love. We
may have turned off our sexual or sensual feelings too.
Many of us lived in systems with people who refused to
tolerate our emotions. We were shamed or reprimanded for
expressing feelings, usually by people who were taught to
repress their own.

But times have changed. It is okay now for us to
acknowledge and accept our emotions. We don't need to
allow our emotions to control us; neither do we need to
rigidly repress our feelings. Our emotional center is a
valuable part of us. It's connected to our physical
well-being, our thinking, and our spirituality.

Our feelings are also connected to that great gift, instinct.
They enable us to give and receive love.

We are neither weak nor deficient for indulging in our
feelings.
