Hungry,
Angry, Lonely,
Tired
This tried and true slogan helps us to stay in touch with our
feelings and needs. Sometimes the onset of anxiety or a sudden drop in
mood can be traced to our having forgotten to eat so our blood sugar
levels are off kilter. Sometimes we may be carrying a resentment, or
feeling lonely, or we are just too tired. Taking a little time out from
our busy day to ask ourselves if we are feeling too Hungry, Angry,
Lonely, or Tired, gets us in touch with our feelings. When we know what
we are feeling we can make choices and take the appropriate action to
get our needs for food, companionship, or rest, met.
Being too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, are conditions that leave
us more vulnerable to the temptations that lead us away from our program
of dual recovery. Part of recovery is learning to pay attention to these
inner signals and practice appropriate ways to meet our needs and
resolve issues in a manner that will enhance our abstinence and
serenity.
