Emotional intelligence

How much are you in touch with our feelings?
The reason I ask is that most relapses are due to the inability to cope with 'downers'... 'negative emotions'. Research has confirmed that alcoholics and addicts don't do well at all with these emotions.
My role is to teach recovering persons to be alongside painful emotions in a non-judgmental way. It's a philosophy of self-acceptance. This creates a new attitude to emerging feelings and moves the recovering person from fear and instant reactions, toward tolerance discomfort without seeking to use drink/drugs.
