"When fear knocks at the door, and faith answered, there's nobody home."
When I was new to the program, I was told I could not be in fear and faith at the same time. I was either live in fear or live in faith. Such recovery has taught me is that now I have the choice between the two. And today, I chose to live in faith. In the book, there is a single line: "God is everything, or nothing." And, again, this presents me with a choice - I think my higher power or not I care? And the decision I make here leads to a path of faith or fear. Taking a third step, every day I consciously choose to turn my will and my life to my Higher Power. I choose faith. Then when fear comes knocking - as always - my faith opens the door and fear has no place to land. Living in faith gives me the freedom and the courage to live a happy, joyous and free. The program promises a life and get a life I choose to live.
"Let go of your old ideas - .. Even good" When I was new in recovery, my sponsor used to wonder what my plans "back pocket" These were the plans and ideas that 'there were so good that I thought I had to run through it. Once I did, however, I was surprised how my thinking was screwed all the air -. Not just the parts that were evident what I just learned that recovery is my thinking has to change if I want to be better than all the thoughts, ideas and plans that I have. had before recovery (even my best thinking), none of them could cure me. "My best thinking got me into the room in the first place" is a phrase that always reminds me. To me, recovery means leaving myself with this program and leave all my old ideas -. even good In fact, today, when I have a good idea is a tip that I'd rather stay by someone. And when I do, I remember that my mind is still not quite right. thank God, does not have to do it alone! ......
