The power of prayer and the promise it provides is so calming and helpful. Last night, I went to sleep feeling obsessive, empty, and needy. I ended up having bad dreams about my latest qualifier and woke up feeling even worse. I continued to struggle with obsessive thoughts all day and even still it's bothering me. However I stayed über busy the entire day and continued to pray. Right now I am feeling pretty good. Something else that has helped me is the realization that while these feelings are painful and uncomfortable, they won't last forever. If I just sit with them, they will go away eventually and I will feel better. And I will feel better eventually WITHOUT having to act out and lose my sobriety and self-respect. I am so grateful for SLAA and all that it has brought to my life, I am so blessed!!!!
