It's what we do. We fear to be confronted with success and happiness. It's not for nothing that our sponsors remind us to be extra vigilant around the time of our sober anniversaries. We've proven over and over again that left to our own devices, we are likely to make a choice that may be detrimental in our recovery. We're alcoholics and addicts. It's in our nature to fear good things and to feel we don't deserve the true gifts of sobriety.
That's why we work a program. A we program.
And together, we learn to accept that we are deserving people.
Good work Christine
