Feelings Check-In



This morning the addict woke up to the following emotions:

Shame, Guilt, Remorse.

Not the emotions you want to have greet you in the morning. Yet, such emotions do serve a purpose. The addict needs to be reminded of the hurt and pain his acting-out can cause. So, in a sense, the addict is grateful for these emotions. Still, the challenge now is to change behavior, not to abandon self-esteem.
