FEELINGS:

Many of us have gotten so good at following
the "don't feel" rule that we can try to talk
ourselves out of having feelings, even in
recovery.

"If I was really working a good program, I
wouldn't feel angry."

"I don't get angry. I'm a Christian. I forgive
and forget."

Part of working a good program means
acknowledging and dealing with our feelings.
We strive to accept and deal with our anger so
it doesn't harden into resentments.

Yes, we are striving for forgiveness, but we
still want to feel, listen to, and stay with our
feelings until it is time to release them
appropriately. Our Higher Power created the
emotional part of ourselves. The God of our

understanding is not telling us to not feel.

We also need to be careful how we use
affirmations and denials; discounting our
emotions won't make feelings go away. If
we're angry, it's okay to have that feeling.

That's part of how we get and stay healthy.
