Feeelings are feelings not facts

[Linda A]

I've been clean & sober for quite a few 24hours now, 11yrs. and I just like to share how my sponsor would constantly tell me that feelings were feelings and not facts. And I would tell her but, I feel so much now. And I still do, even more so, I think the older I get. But I'm fortunate to have a clear understanding that there still not the facts in my life. My feelings are not my facts, I may feel like shit today, but the fact is, I live well. My children are healthy and happy, I am healthy, sober and happy most of the times, I have sight, hearing, and sense of smell, I still have a job for now. Just for today, I'm still free of myself these are my facts. And the amazing part is, these facts, once realized thought about make me feel so much better. I feel better when I focus on my facts.
