OLD FEELINGS:

Sometimes, the old feelings creep
back in. A condition some describe as
"soul sickness."

Many of us felt this way when we
began recovery. Sometimes, we slip
back into these feelings after we've
begun recovery. Sometimes there's a
reason. An event may trigger these
reactions. Times of change can
trigger these reactions. So can
physical illness.

Sometimes, these feelings return for
no reason.

A return to the old feelings doesn't
mean we're back to square one on our

recovery. They do not mean we've
failed at recovery. They are just there.

The solution is the same: practicing
the basics. Some of the basics are
loving and trusting our self,
detachment, dealing with feelings,
giving and receiving support in the
recovery community, using our
affirmations, and having fun.

Another basic is working the Steps.
Often, working the Steps is how we
become enabled and empowered to
practice the other basics, such as
detachment and self-love.

If the old feelings come back, know
for certain there is a way out that
will work.
