I think fear is a part of a lot of peoples stories Starryskye.

I used to feel like a fraud, that I would somehow be found out and exposed as not as good as I appeared to be.

I had no basis for that feeling but it followed me through school, into the workforce, into University and even into my musical career.

Recovery has bought me a lot of things but most of all it's bought me contentment.

I know I'm not the best at everything, but that ok.
I've worked hard to get what I have & keep it.

I deserve it.
There's no fraudery here

as far as losing everything goes - the only way we can do that is by willingly raising a glass of alcohol to our lips.

If we never do that - never do that one simple thing - we can never lose the great sober life or the peace and contentment we're building
