It’s weird when I don’t have any complaints about life…

No matter what, things are always going to be okay. I have to remind myself of that. I have to feel the feelings and accept where I am in a situation … that it’s okay to not be okay.. to be vulnerable.

Sometimes you are the windshield, sometimes you are the bug.

I have moments of bliss, and then out of nowhere the thing that I’m trying to forget or escape comes rushing back.. I pray it away and it comes back later.. it’s a battle trying to escape feelings, so I’m learning to just accept the feelings.. as long as I don’t live in it, or react in a horrible manner or do anything I need to amends for, I’m okay. Nobody is perfect. I’m human.

Silly I have to remind myself of these things.. :two_hearts:

Love this post. Sobriety is about learning better coping mechanisms other than pouring a drink to escape unpleasant feelings. So we get to appreciate the good times even more. Can’t have the good without the bad, just like there is no day without a night. Couldn’t agree more Sheena!

My addiction wants to make me feel not ok. Then it can work on me. There are times where life feels so right and amazing, then 45 minutes later life is $hit and everything is wrong. Not a dam thing has changed in my circumstances, but my addiction has had time to get me alone. At these times I will stop and say “No Stan, I see you. I am ok.” I named my addiction Stan after the character in the Eminem song.:slightly_smiling_face:
