Fear Can Destroy You

If we were asked to walk a plank suspended in the air, fear of falling might cause such anxiety we could not keep our balance. The fear would actually cause us to fall. This phenomenon is true of chemical relapse as well. We may be so terrified of relapse, and work ourselves into so intense a state of panic; we are driven to take a chemical for relief. This can also occur with any task where we fear failure. Putting things in their proper perspective, taking a challenge one bit at a time, and trusting in our Higher Power can help us avoid the destructive panic.

Deep.

Can't see my self on a plank,but there are often situations that I am better off staying away from. If I find myself there, I would ask for help and say R.S.V.P., I need to ask for change. It isn't about the other person, it is about the choices I made to get there and whatdo I needto get out of it or how to go through it.
