Fears
We pocket our pride and go to it, illuminating every twist of character,
every dark cranny of the past. Once we have taken this step,
withholding nothing, we are delighted. We can look the world in the eye.
We can be alone at perfect peace and ease. Our fears fall from us.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 75

AA-related 'Alconym'

Pammy and I have alcoholism.  This program is amazing.  It helped me debunk everything that was paralysing me.  All the things I feared had lost power over me.   I used to be mad at myself about it because I saw wasted time I had lost because of them.  But today, not so much.  I still  have air in my lungs and make the most of it.  I do believe in one fear and that's complacency.  That  sucker can take me out in a heart beat.  I need others daily to remind of that, so i stay close to my program of daily living.  It's my lifeline.  I get all that I need from it.  Thank you.
