EXPERIENCING FEELINGS:

Feeling feelings can be a challenge if we've had
no previous experience doing that. Learning to
identify what we're feeling is a challenge, but we
will not become experts overnight.

Here are some ideas.

Take out a sheet of paper. On the top of it write,
"If it was okay to feel whatever I'm feeling, and I
wouldn't be judged as bad or wrong, what
would I be feeling?" Then write what ever comes
to mind. You can also use writing or journaling.
You can keep a diary, write letters you don't
intend to send.

Listen to yourself as an objective third person
might. Listen to the tone of voice and the words
you use. What do you hear? Sadness, fear,
anger, happiness?

What is your body telling you? Is it tense and
rigid with anger? Heavy with sadness and grief?
Dancing with joy?

Talking to people in recovery helps too. Going
to meetings helps.

One of the treasures we're seeking is the
emotional part of ourselves. We don't have to
do it perfectly. We need only be honest, open,
and willing.
