All I want is a little courage

If I had a LOT of courage, I could take on the World without a blink. I just ask for a little. Why? Discretion is the better part of Valor. God, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage the change the things I can...

Well, that narrows it down a bit. My Self. That's where my ability stands. I am powerless over everything else under the Sun. I'm not helpless, but I'm powerless. God & my Higher Power grant me that ability and aid.

If I have the courage to change myself--which can seem rather daunting, in and of itself--then perhaps I will be brave enough (or humble enough) to accept everything I cannot change.

Courage to restore...courage to rebuild...courage to heal...

I want so desperately to keep what I have, yet I'm willing to give it all away at a moment's notice. That's the paradox of sobriety. One moment I'm in an OK place and happy with my life, the next moment, I'm spun out and ready for a rubber room.

Is this normal after 3 mo's in Alanon? LoL.
