Have No Fear

[MajestyJo]

There are healthy fears. Don't walk in front of a bus, jump of a balcony, or pick up a drink or a drug.

I kept going to meetings because I was fearful of going back to where I came from and relapse was not an option for me, it was do or die.

I called my sponsor because I feared that if I was left on my own, I would think my way into drinking and/or drugging. I substituted drink for drugs and in the end I was doing both.

Even though my faith wasn't too strong because I had a major resentment against God and the church, I learned to pray and have faith that it would work. Faith in the program, let me back to a clearer awareness of my God, and I no longer feared Him.

In today, fear blocks me from my God and binds me to Self, instead of letting go and letting God.

Life the last line, never fear, God is near.
