Tuesday September 20th, 2016 Chip Fear/Faith

[bunnypie]

I am up on a bathroom run but plan on making a 10:30am meeting later this morning. I have fear creep in if I go 2-3 days without a meeting. I start to obsess on the "what if's" When I make a meeting it gives me faith that every thing will be okay. FAITH=feel as if there's hope. I have not heard a word about if I can have surgery after my last chemo on Sept. 29th. If I don't have surgery to remove what is left of the cancer tumor it will just grow back and all the hell I have gone thru in the past 5 months will of been for nothing!!! I was told back in the day that "meeting makers make it"
so I will have faith that making a meeting will help calm down my fears. Back to bed for some much needed sleep!------Bunnypie

Feel the same way, although I don't always get to a f2f meeting, coming here and sharing has been meeting enough to keep me clean and sober for the last 6 years, since my health hasn't always allowed me to get out.

Courage is fear that has said it's prayers. I am so grateful for the Serenity Prayer. I just have to remember to keep the faith.

I always liked the quote from the movie Miracle on 34th Street. The Mom tells the daughter "Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to"
