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.
