my daily reflections…

i like to think im not affected by fear. the fact is, i am. and as ive learned fear comes at me in many different ways. as the big book says, it can attack me in the most subtle ways. surely the major ones hit me, fear of fear itself, fear of the unknown, and fear of others opinions. the big book teaches me to not be afraid of my emotions. to allow me to feel em and face em with solutions which are healthy. it also tells me to live in the moment, live in today. surely i may not know what the next minute, or day, may bring, but if i live it as best as i can right now, it will probably set me up fer success. and lastly, judgment, rejection, or disapproval from others is another monster fear. it prevents me from bein honest about my personal struggles. and doesnt the big book tell me to practice rigorous honesty as a path to recovery. when i share with another my true self, i get to break free from the fear of their opinion. practicin the spiritual principle, or idea, of faith, helps me in each of these areas. 1 day @ a time...
