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,

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Fear- I always fear the worse. When phone rings I’m fearing bad news. Another one died. When someone doesn’t pick up- they are dead. Have had a lot of death in my life so unfortunately and sadly this is what my mind goes to. Always catch myself asking people before they speak what’s wrong. Once I let my guard down and not fearing bam :boom: I’m hit with bad news. Think it’s my way to always be ready- survive but this is no way of living

I always think of the worst thing that can happen so that it doesn’t. When I don’t then that thing happens and I blame myself for not thinking of it. Like I have the power to keep it at bey by thinking about it. It’s weird I know

The FEARS we don't face, becomes our LIMIT.

When I did my fears list it was evident that I had a lot of fear.
Unknown, being successful, being found out who I really am, if being wrong, public speaking, drowning, heights, being cheated on, being judged…. It’s crazy how I ever got this way? But I can say the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous have helped me get over some if not most of my fears. But they do try to sneak back into my life. That’s when I realize I’m not practicing all the principles in all my affairs.

Your NOT alone! My fall led to my husband leaving, I feared of being alone. All thoughts came into my head. I ended up through prayer and reaching out for support have peace now and strength. Actually enjoying living alone. My husband and I are working on us, and I’m the one now taking control of my life and taking care of my sobriety first. I’m asking him not to come home just yet :rofl:. You’ve got this, lean on God
