EXPERIENCING FEELINGS:

Feeling feelings can be a challenge if we've had no previous
experience doing that. Learning to identify what we're feeling
is a challenge, but we will not become experts overnight.

Here are some ideas.

Take out a sheet of paper. On the top of it write, "If it was
okay to feel whatever I'm feeling, and I wouldn't be judged
as bad or wrong, what would I be feeling?" Then write what
ever comes to mind. You can also use writing or journaling.
You can keep a diary, write letters you don't intend to send.

Listen to yourself as an objective third person might. Listen
to the tone of voice and the words you use. What do you
hear? Sadness, fear, anger, happiness?

What is your body telling you? Is it tense and rigid with
anger? Heavy with sadness and grief? Dancing with joy?

Talking to people in recovery helps too. Going to meetings
helps. One of the treasures we're seeking is the emotional
part of ourselves. We don't have to do it perfectly. We need
only be honest, open, and willing.
