Fear is a big one. My whole life seemed to be fear based and I didn't know that I could do anything about it. Fearful of others, fear of others, fearful for myself, fear of myself, which ever way you looked at it, it kept me a prisoner of my own mind for many years. I didn't need steel bars, my fears and phobias kept me locked into a world that was very dark and at times there didn't seem to be much light.
I need to remember that fear and faith can't occupy the same space and that faith unlocks the door. There is a hymn call that and I remember the Blackwood Brothers singing it. https://www.chess.com/blog/Evenstaro...he-door-lyrics Through faith in the program, I learned to have faith in those who had gone before me and had found sobriety. Through them I found a new relationship with my God and with myself. We can do what I can't do alone.
