H. Hungry: McDonalds, burger king, Mexican (love Mexican)
  Feeling tired, irritable and unfocused? Eating healthy, OK I think I need a newcomer chip for this one, and this is very serious, I realize that I automatically; by instinct, as soon I got hungry the ritual is very simple, the first Drive-Thru in my way, proceeding to eat in my car, Nope not only at dinner time, but all my meals. Junk food You have to hate it but how? So many good moments together…

A. Anger: God grant me the serenity… Let go and let God… Live life on life's terms… Turn it over
OK recovery it's about changing our attitudes and learning new ways to live…I allow myself to be angry, not act on it, but I know isn't healthy to repress my feelings, there’s not such thing as good feelings or bad feelings, feelings are feelings and they have a propose, some times to let me know I need balance in my life, or something…

L. Loneliness: God, sponsor, meetings, magazines under my bed…
I believe that loneliness is a choice, I need time be by myself to recharge my battery, to look for a conscious Contact with my HP, to reconnect with the divine. But some times I do feel lonely, I been told that in order to recover I needed to change my toys, playmates and playgrounds; build new relationship with “Normies” is very difficult, and with recovery fellows every conversation is just a monologue, me, me, me!!! but we have 13th step… sweet!

T. Tired: I’m tired writing this…
How I deal with my low energy, naps, and then more naps, what a gift, laying down in my bed and just feel the freshness of clean sheets…priceless.
When I’m having a hard time or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, it helps to remember my most important priority ME.  I mean my relationship with my HP.  Seriously God is my number one.
Thanks for letting me share
