EMOTIONS Many of us fake emotions because our past experiences never taught us how to use BOUNDARIES when dealing with feelings. Now we are oftentimes stumped when it comes to knowing how we should feel or act when we are faced emotional situations. Sometimes we need to learn to ' fake it till we make it'. What is asked of us is to act the part until the part becomes of us, quite a process I know. We may not know how to feel because of the fact we numbed are body's for so long because all of are mind atlering substance we put in are body to avoid true emotions or just because. We may not know how to really trust someone, or thing but was just confussed how to but always wanted to be in that postion. What we can learn to do is 'act as if' working all the time to liberate the frozen emotions of years gone by, UNTIL WE ACTUALLY DO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE SEEK. Like new shoes, my new behaviours and feeling will feel stiff and uncomfortable for a little while. I am willing to live through the 'breaking in' period.Here's to sobriety & recovery, untill next time
