I have a question. I know that RR says not to worry about slippery places or mingling with other Beasts because we are protected by our BP's. I turned down a thing last night because I was frankly afraid to go. I was having tons of anxiety and stressing myself right out over it. Is that my Beast producing those feelings? Or is that me? I knew I wouldn't drink but the thought of being around it with other people's Beasts was doing my head in. I wasn't having images of drinks or cravings. I was having a lot of fear about turning down drinks or being questioned about why I wasn't drinking at a bar for a celebration.

You know what I've answered it myself. Of course, it's Beast. IT is making it seem harder than it is by creating fear that I may not be able to say no. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish because my feelings are feelings, it's not the same as a straight up thought or image. And why should I be afraid to be around it if it has no power over me anymore?
