It is so important to understand this. This can come at any time regardless of clean time and often dont come up until we are ready for them. For some step work, meditation (with a t), fellowshipping, service is enough (and in my experience should be tried first). Only the member, their sponsor, and doctor can decide if more is needed. There is not one member among us qualified to make that decision for another or to pass judgement. March 28 From JFT... After being in recovery for some time, we find that the emotions we had suppressed suddenly begin to surface. We may find that we do not know how to identify our feelings. What we may be feeling as rage may only be frustration. What we perceive as suicidal depression may simply be sadness. These are the times when we need to seek the assistance of our sponsor or other members of NA. Going to a meeting and talking about what is happening in our lives can help us to face our feelings instead of running from them in fear. ––––=–––– Just for today: I will not run from the uncomfortable emotions I may experience. I will use the support of my friends in recovery to help me face my emotions.
