February 16
Faithful Feelings

"When we refuse to accept the reality of today we are denying faith in our Higher Power This can only bring more suffering."

IP No. 8, "Just for Today"

Some days just aren't the way we wish they would be. Our problems may be as simple as a broken shoelace or having to stand in line at the supermarket. Or we may experience something far more serious, such as the loss of a job, a home, or a loved one. Either way, we often end up looking for a way to avoid our feelings instead of simply acknowledging that those feelings are painful.

No one promises us that everything will go our way when we stop using. In fact, we can be sure that life will go on whether we're using or not. We will face good days and bad days, comfortable feelings and painful feelings. But we don't have to run from any of them any longer.

We can experience pain, grief, sadness, anger, frustration- all those feelings we once avoided with drugs. We find that we can get through those emotions clean. We won't die and the world won't come to an end just because we have uncomfortable feelings. We learn to trust that we can survive what each day brings.

Just for today: I will demonstrate my trust in God by experiencing this day just as it is.

FAITHFUL FEELINGS

WHEN WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE REALITY OF TODAY WE ARE DENYING FAITH IN OUR HIGHER POWER. THIS CAN ONLY BRING ON MORE SUFFERING.

I LOVEPain. I have lived in it so long that when I am free from it I want to find it again. Kidding! In some ways I am not kidding though, I have been programed mentally to think negative, feel negative, so on. The truth is that I am negative to a big degree of the time. I am full of fear allot of the time, worry that creeps in.

God knows me sooooo well,I Love him. He is the one that keeps me Sober and in Recovery. The peole do also.

In Recovery I have walked through allot of pain. More than I want to share here right now. But lets say Health failures, family imprisonments, financial problems, job lose, disabilities, deaths, divorce, family dysfunction. Those few are part of it in sobriety the past few 14 years.

Feelings are a part of the human makeup. We just have to be like the rest of the World and do it Sober.

Give God a chance and Rest in HIM.

Thanks and Love to you all,
Blessed
