Today I went to a new meeting for me but a long-time meeting for Al-Anon. Walked in and it was nice to not feel the old anxiety and feel at home. It helped that I knew the faces of 3/4s of the people in the room.
I was thinking of how nice it is to take risks and expand my area of comfort. Meeting new people, visiting new places and growing as a person and taking our recovery outside of the rooms and into new areas of our life.
There was a time when meeting new people and going into the unknown would have been a totally fearful experience.

Morning all,
Hmm .... courage/cowardly
As a child I had no courage or inner fortitude to fend off my oppressers, mainly because my connection with God was limited and I had no guidance from Him.
Today that connection with God is intense and He gives me the strength and courage I need to face each day. It is through His spirit that I grow and have the faith to go on.
Love & God Bless Arlene

in agreement with Lildee. My courage comes from within and my inner strength is from my HP.
COurage...yes. Not cowardly at all. Today i will speak my mind. I will not allow others to take advantage of my good nature. I will handle it in a very diplomatic way, though. (tactful but assertive. )
LIN
