"Courage is fear that has learned how to pray." - Pauline J.
WHY WORRY?It was never easy for me not to worry. I think worrying started
for me at a young age. I know it may sound crazy, but if my
parents had gone on a trip without me and were driving home, my
imagination could create a disaster in my mind. I had the dark
cloud syndrome. I lived in constant fear that something bad was
just about to happen. I remember hearing it shared at a meeting
that our first thought is usually wrong. The light bulb went off.
I related to that concept. I understood what was meant by that. I
was wired differently. I needed help seeing my faulty thought
patterns. The steps were opening up my mind to a new thought
process. I did not have to react to my first thought. It was a
slow learning process for me. That first prayer, "help me stay
clean", became even more sincere. I actually began having
conversations with my God. My daily prayer time increased. The
prayers felt more sincere than before. God could and would, if he
were sought. These are not normal statements coming from a hope
to die dope fiend. I was experiencing divine intervention. I was
beginning to experience brief periods of serenity in between the
distorted thinking. My journey had begun.
"Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of
its joy." - Leo Buscaglia
