Ispiration for new comers from somone who walks in the light!!

I thought for the heck of it I'd look up post date 10/16 from 10 years ago. I wanted to see if I could find members who still post.

In doing that I found one!

A very dear, humble woman who freely gives of herself on SR daily. IMHO this lady really is the epitome of walking in the light. She is where many of us should strive to be - with her honest, encouraging support.

This is a response to a thread she made 10 years ago today;


You really are not alone. I lived in fear for decades - I was so afraid of losing what I had, losing control of my life that I held on tightly to everyone and everything out of fear. Being such a control freak is one of the things that led me to drinking. My resolution this year was to live in love and light and I've been doing that fairly well.

The bottom line is that you have a conscious choice to live in fear or not. I realize that all of the decisions I made in my life, big and small, I made based on fear. Facing your fears will set you free.

Love, Anna

Thank you for the kind words Flynbuy!

I remember that post. I will never live in fear, in the dark again. It's a horrible place and life is too short. When you bring your fears and problems into the light, things change. Sometimes you have to drag the dark places of your life into the light, but once you do, you will begin to be free. Dancing in the Light is the only way to live.

Thanks for this, and thank you Anna, you have a way of saying exactly what needs to be said in as few words as possible.

Word-skill.

Well said Fly.

And everyone who has posted their thanks.

The Mods here on SR are modern day saints, in my opinion.

The" Mother Theresa's " of the cyber sobriety world. And the world in general no doubt.
