WE CAN CHANGE THE WAY WE FEEL. “MOVE A MUSCLE; CHANGE A THOUGHT.”
What this means is live your life. Get up go to work, go to meetings, work with your sponsor, chair meetings, work the steps, take showers, eat food, exercise, have fun and all the rest of the recovery life stuff that we do as members of life and sobriety. It means don’t let our feelings paralyze us. Even though we may feel like we are falling from the highest building in existence we don’t let-on. Even though we feel like a vase ready to crack we put one foot in front of the other and know that if we move a muscle we will change our thoughts. It doesn’t mean we should repress our feelings. On the contrary repressing intense feelings will make us sick and eventually kill us. No we should write down and share our intense feelings courageously. But in the midst of the greatest fears we have ever felt, we continue to help others and live our life.
