Courage is fear in action. ( or Courage is fear that has said it's prayers )

- Anon.

Not sure where I posted on courage earlier, but no harm in starting another thread.

Have always liked the last part of this quote from Alkie Speaks today. I am reminded that it works both ways, no matter what side of the street I am on.

Fear happened long before I stole my first drink at 10 years old. I remember fear at 6 years old, standing in the woods which was my safe haven, between my grandparent's farm and home. It was there that I fell in love with black-eye susans and still stop to look at them and give thanks for them in today.

Courage to face the fears and recover. Courage to live my life and let go of the past. Courage to detach and set boundaries and maintain them.

Courage to maintain my sobriety (soundness of mind). My disease is mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. Emotions often make themselves known physically and visa versa.

When I went to see a show on Intuitive Healing, they said that our feet and legs are vulnerable and they can be affected by fear of taking the next move, fear of taking a wrong step, fear of the unknown and other insecruities.
