FEAR. False evidence appearing real.

Fear is something that seems to rip through many of our lives. In 12- Step literature, they call it an evil and corroding thread and should be classified in the category of stealing.

There is much truth to this, as fear only resides in the future and we do not know whether any of what we think may happen will ever materialize.

Fear very much fits in the category of stealing and it robs us of the one thing we can never get back… TIME.

Think about how much time you have been afraid of something that has never happened. How much time was spent in those fears?

Choose not to lose any more time. Make a decision to take advantage of the present. That’s all we have. All we ever will have,

This resignates to the core! I am always fearful of the future losing sleep losing sanity over tomorrow! I will keep in mind that the fear I am feeling is almost from the past, making me fearful of a repeat of events! I am tired, tired of the worry about tomorrow It's Crazy if u think about it when we are in active addiction we almost never worry about the next day, unless of course it was DR DAY FOR ME LOL! AND NOW I AM ALMOST 4 YEARS CLEAN N ALL I STRESS ABOUT IS THE WHATS IFS!!! I am going to try hard to come back to the message I hear in today's Sober Tip that my higher power will take it from me if it's too hard to bear and no matter what I have a beautiful life today! I will stop worrying about tomorrows forescast

I was just talking about this earlier and after time and time again every emotion and every feeling is derived from fear and it’s what keeps us stuck. The fear of success, the fear of rejection, the fear of failure, the fear of not being good enough… and the list goes on. Today I give it to HIM and I try to conquer my fears by doing what I fear the most until it becomes easier.
