I have to acknowledge it before I can let it go. Thank goodness you don't have to like it in order to accept it.

When I came into recovery, I didn't have a clue what letting go meant. Some days, many years of one day at a time, I still don't 'do' Letting Go very well.
I didn't have a concept of letting go. I didn't know how to do it and it took going to many, many meetings and listening to others that it just seemed to happen and the light bulb went on. I was indeed, totally in the dark about this. It was my job to worry, fret, grit my teeth, etc. I have this problem you know, not knowing the problem was me. It has always helped to direct my thinking on something positive and helping others which in turn, helps me to not focus on me and my problems. There is always someone hurting more than me and I can put my problems in their true perspective. I had a sponsor and spiritual adviser, who use to tell me, not to call them problems. He said they are challenges. Challenges we overcome, problems we can tend to get stuck on.

Jo, This collection on "fear" is enough for several sessions or an entire women's study group that I am currently in. I see the post is "old," but the topic is right on today's problems for me. And I will copy this and take it to my study group. I truly believe that God led me to this on this chilly morning; I was surfing/scrolling and absent-mindedly (or unconsciously) clicked on it. What a blessing! Oh, so much to learn at 16 years sober. Thank you and have a wonderful day and week! Lisa

Thank you for sharing Lisa. It is a one day at a time program and even though I have 22 years clean and sober, I can still find myself there. Thanks to the program, I have tools to use in today to change it either into something manageable or change it into faith. As they say, fear and faith can't occupy the same space.
