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.
