"GETTING REAL"
Sharing Feelings... Anonymous
Many of us just did what other people did. We drank alcohol. We took drugs. But we felt so different from those "normal" people. Why? Because of the way we did drugs and because drugs were so unfulfilling for us. It's a joke among us recovering addicts that we tried so hard to look normal.
Non-addicts didn't know our torment They didn't know that we lived in another world. While we were high, we felt moments of euphoria and false well being. When the buzz wore off, we suffered centuries of misery. Both are feelings that the `"normies" did not experience.
In the fellowship, however, we share all our feelings. Why ?? Because we know that we are among friends, & we feel as if we have finally arrive home.
Do I share my true feelings with others?
Higher Power, I pray for the willingness to see & know my true feelings more clearly and to open up & share myself with my fellow addicts.
