When I walked in my first Alanon meeting over 21 years ago, I had so much fear and anger. Today I found a quote about fear. I plan to write it in my Alanon book.
"Hope is stronger than fear."
Another quote is "courage is fear that has said its prayers."
That one helped me over the years. it helped me remember that my HP is with me. I learned that by praying for help from my HP my fears became smaller and smaller. Another thing that helped was when I realized that at leat 95% of the things I was fearful might happen never did. I was predicting things that didn't even happen.
Not I have a new phrase...Hope is stronger than fear. That one jumped out at me because the one thing I took with me from my very first meeting was HOPE. I learned that others had been thru what I had and came out on the other side with serenity, peace, happiness, and they had learned ways to cope with the fear where it no longer paralyzed them.

Good thought Lin, thanks for sharing. I remember those days. This reminds me of a post I made how the little girl within us got lost too, and she too had to learn to find her way. Lost her for a long time, but she is with me and I am aware of my Inner Child.

Face everything and recover. That is what I had to do. It was no longer about the people in my life, it was about me and my recovery.
