I just don't get it???? I'm so glad that I'm clean yet I go through these really depressive states. I feel like I've got this great big scream trapped inside me. I've been prayin my little heart out for 2 days now and I'm just not getting any relief. Maybe it's got something to do with this tooth ache I've had for the past 2 weeks mmmm I don't do pain real well. I just keep telling myself that this to will pass. As long as I don't pick up every thing will be ok.

This is a common feeling many of us have after getting clean.
It's sort of accurate but not quite.
The truth is that everything is better when we're clean than if we were using. There's no doubt about that.
But life on life's terms happens whether we are clean or not.
There are many gifts to be found in the steps, but the growth in the belief and reliance on a God of our understanding is perhaps the greatest.
When we put our faith in that power greater than ourself, our lives are the best they can be. Everything is just the way it's supposed to be and that is truly OK.

Bad teeth can be real frightening,,
I was afraid of the pain killers they injected to do tooth work....
Then I was afraid id be forced to take pain killers after it.......

I was also afraid Id get infected with aids, hep.c etc...............

All those fears were baseless.
I understood that it was my responsibility to inform the dentist about my addiction/physical allergy....

All in all, the bad tooth thing has a reference in the Basic Text,,, Step 6;
It says "the pain of letting go is better that the pain of holding on""".

God how true that has been,,,,

Hugs acroos the waters Ruthy,,, remember you can do it !!!
Stay clean and serene come hell or high water !!

Sorry you're feeling down. Two things that help pick up my mood: doing service work and fellowship with other people in recovery. This to shall pass.
