depression like so many other "bad feelings" is something that i had to learn to live with when i got clean. one of the first and most difficult concepts for me to grasp was that feelings and emotions were neither "good" nor "bad" , they just were. it was my reaction to these feelings that was inappropriate. although i have never suffered from depression in any real sense, getting clean has allowed me a full range of emotions and feelings. i also have come to grasp that i have never died of a feeling and that there are people here who not only empathize, but can help to figure out what i am feeling and help me deal with those feelings without using or acting out. and that is the joy of this program, i do not have to do any of this alone!
