Times when faith is put to the test.

This weekend I am going out of town for my cousins wedding. Every time I travel with my family I am a bundle of nerves and anxiety. To make matters worse, I have a nasty summer cold. I am a hypercondreact. If I'm not fearing to get sick, I am emotionally going overboard when I am sick.

Why I seem not to turn this crap over to my Higher Power, I have no idea, perhaps it is old habits dying hard.

I want to enjoy this wedding and time away from my family, I don't want to suffer the entire time dealing with panic attacks. I don't fear I'll drink, I'm past that. I do fear that I'm gonna be miserable. It seems it is times like these where my faith is put to the test. I know what to do, I've been shown the tools, I just need to use them.

F- False
E- Emotions
A- Appearing
R- Real

This situation is a potential example.
