my daily reflections…

fear often manifests as a debilitatin emotion for me, characterized by a strong sense of unease stemmin from real or perceived threats. in the days of doin my dirt, this emotion, fear, has induced significant worry and irrational concern, fueled by overwhelmin feelins and justified by nervousness, anger, worry, depression, jealousy, procrastination, or the like. in the absence of a spiritual framework, i find myself defenseless against this overwhelmin sensation. in the days of doin my dirt, i often resorted to alcohol as a means of copin, seekin solace in a whiskey jug when fear became too intense. however, through my recovery journey, i have learned to confront fear with the tools provided by my recovery experiences. instead of succumbin to irrational thoughts and behaviors, i now strive to approach fear with love and reflection. although my initial reaction may still be to let fear spiral, takin the time to inventory my fears has proven to be a constructive practice. this process not only helps me manage fear but also aligns with the spiritual principles of recovery, allowin me to navigate challengin emotions without inflictin harm to myself or others with spiteful words or irresponsible behavior. 1 day @ a time…
