Don't Be Afraid of Real Sorrow Following her husband's death, a woman with years of sobriety felt she was derelict because she was feeling sorry for herself. Some in the program told her she must learn how to be happy. This is a distortion. The program is critical of feeling sorry for yourself and blaming everyone else for consequences of your addictive behavior. However, when you feel genuine grief from loss of a loved one, that is a healthy emotion. We must be careful not to distort the wonderful ideas of the program. When in doubt, check with senior people in sobriety who can tell you what these concepts really mean.
