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.
