MOVING ON EMOTIONALLY

For the past few posts we have been talking about the emotions we go through when we live with an active alcohol abuser.

This series of feelings many of us go through are:

DISBELIEF > DENIAL > ANGER > BITTERNESS > RESENTMENT > SADNESS >  COMPASSION > FORGIVENESS > LOVE.

If you have not read my previous posts covering this process, please read them now.

So, what use is it knowing where along the continuum of the process we are?

What use is it to realise we are stuck on say Resentment.

Well here is a way you CAN USE this information.

When you find yourself with feelings at one of the stages above - 

YOU  CAN  READ  UP  ABOUT  THAT  STAGE or EMOTION

So, if you find yourself feeling say ANGRY or RESENTFUL - read about it:

• Look at my previous posts - see if I have written about it
• Look on the Net for articles on the subject
• Buy a book on the subject, or go to your Library
  

The point is - FIND  OUT  ABOUT  WHAT  YOU  ARE  FEELING  AND  LOOK  FOR  WAYS  TO COPE WITH  IT.

YOU  DO  NOT  HAVE  TO  BE  STUCK  WITH  SOME  UNHEALTHY  EMOTION - By study you can move past it.

YOU  DO  NOT  HAVE  TO  BE  ANGRY  or  RESENTFUL  for the rest of your days!

Remember:  it is only harming YOU when you hold unhealthy emotions like Anger, Resentment or even feeling like a Victim.

You CAN do something about it!
