Thankfully I have no desire to drink. Being sober as we know we feel so much and have to sit with our thoughts and feelings and work through them without masking them. Sobriety is a journey filled with many ups and downs… and right now I feel down. I’m going to pray for peace for mind and heart. 
this too shall pass and feelings are NOT facts. I will find joy and happiness in the many blessings I have.

Feelings are def not facts. Prayer to me is in the "feelings" category. Meetings and interacting in person with sober people is in the "facts" category. Get out to as many meetings as you can, get through this down time.
You got it.

I believe that the Holy Spirit works in us, more than feelings. Reading the Psalms is a good exercise for me, or checking out some good inspiration and teaching.

Hey there my friend! I’m sorry to hear the feels have got you down at the moment. You are so blessed to have 2 plus years sober, not desire a drink, and have the tools to sit with yourself. Just wanted to let you know that your posts on SG always inspire me. Get some rest, and feel better

Just because we are sober does not mean life is sunshine and rainbows. We still have our tough days. But sobriety gives us more than a fighting chance! It gives us a choice! This too shall pass. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You got this!!!

Hey C. U R right, feelings are not facts. And they do matter. Allow yourself to feel what u r feeling, and label the feeling and then allow it to pass. It's okay to sit in the feels for a minute. And then get back up and move onforward!!!
