Flooded with emotions?

I am flooded with emotions. Wow I said it outloud, actually I said it as I typed. It was not always this way. I am no longer numb inside, it’s like I have finally been defrosted.

It feels so good to actually feel things than to numb oneself. By feeling, I am learn more about life: how to handle emotions? how to self check your emotions? how to keep your emotions positive?????  I am doing that clean/sober, and with God and let us not forget that important thing called a sponsor.

What’s the secret? FAITH

I must admit I am often reassured by a “God” of my understanding or, a power greater than myself, and my recovery.

I am learning when overwhelmed to state that and withdraw from the situation until I have processed things a bit more. It’s okay to tell someone “I am not sure how I feel about that, let me get back to you.” You do not have to react to things instantly. You can take time to process your emotions, matter of fact many emotions come in stages, like loss or grief. You give yourself permission to feel it, free it and to heal it.

As a person in recovery my soul used to feed on instant gratification. now I am learning to take things one day at a time! And sometimes it’s from minute to minute. When they say its a program of honesty, it is. I have to take time to think about things, I think the most important thing is learning to love myself enough to allow myself to process my emotions with a “God” of my understanding. That is my tip on how to handle your emotions in the beginning stages of recovery…have faith. There is nothing that is going to happen that “using” will make better.

Thank you God

        Utente Anon0moi9/01/2012Un po’ di tempo fa ho trovato il lavoro di un adorabile matto che etichettava oggetti e prodotti del mondo realie con i codici Pantone. Era un bel set su Flickr ma purtroppo le foto sono scomparse. Oggi ho cercato un po’ e, per fortuna, qualcuno le ha archiviate. J.

    Since that time the activity has been referred to as GPS-stashing, GPS stash hunting, and even geostashing.
