All that fear I talked about in the last post is still around.
Its like - I uncovered the truth, I know where the fear comes from, and now that fear is running around loose like a vampire let out of his coffin.
And all that analyzing was an attempt cure myself. You have no idea how often and how many times I have ruminated over this.
Yes, I figured it out and it is out of control. I am paralyzed with fear now.
And yes, I get it, about what it means to hand over 'our...

Paralysis & A Very Frightening Afternoon

Yesterday, I was attempting to get some work done and a familiar resistance came over me. It is procrastination but it is an awful paralyzing procrastination. If you have ever had a premonition, an intuition, that you should not do something (get in a car, walk down an alley, ect.) then you know what it feels like. Every brain cell is screaming stop - don't act, don't do, don't try.

Self-Centered Fear 2

Posted 02-22-2009 at 01:25 PM by grewupinabarn

Quote:
lose something we already possessed
or would fail to get something we demanded

The chief activator of our defects has been self-centered fear --
primarily fear that we would lose something we already possessed
or would fail to get something we demanded.

Declaration of Recovery

Posted 02-15-2009 at 01:58 PM by grewupinabarn

Using the Steps as a guide, I can see that steps 11 and 12 require declaring 2 personal goals:
1) I want recovery from living with alcoholism
2) I want to do HP's will for me, knowing that it can be done only by me. HP's will for me is Exclusive to me.

I fervently hope HP's will for me will involve teaching people how to conserve and enjoy the natural world and helping others with recovery.
