The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Be aware when these four physical or emotion conditions arise. When these do arise we are in a vulnerable position to have a severe emotional react.
Realizing that to react to quickly only puts me in a defensive position, which is not a healthy place to be, I stop an analyze the situation first. In the
midst of the chaos/drama it is not necessary to participate. QTIP (Quit taking it personally) is an extremely effective tool for me, and I use it to help me
to stop before I react. I find that if I participate in the insanity, it only leaves me hungry, angry, lonely and tired. {{HUGS}}

Love, Love, Love this one and it 'shoots' in my head often when I feel left of center.....I am exploring it right now, as I woke up completely miserable again with my throat. I just don't do 'ill' well so I am angry!! Not at anyone, just that I still don't feel whole.
What a great tool for me today. I am going to take it easy as possible again today so that I can hopefully feel better for the busy weekend planned here.
My HP does know what he's doing though - since my tongue and mouth can be my sharpest weapons, it's spot on that my throat hurts too much for too many words/conversations.....

Great tool to use when checking my emotions. If I feel: " Hungry I eat, Angry I look for my part and my motives and I pray, Lonely I go to a meeting and Tired I rest Really simple and it works.
