There are different kinds of fear. Some fear is good, because it helps us to be able to preserve our life. Babies, for example, have a fear of falling. It just seems to be a natural instinct. Any fear that protects us from harming ourselves is a good fear.

However, when fear becomes an obsession, it is getting out of hand. "What I have always feared" has come to pass. Why do we go looking for trouble? There is a saying, "Don't let clouds of fear of the morrow hide today's sunshine." We can get so anxious about what's going to happen in the future that we don't enjoy living today.

Life is a precious gift to be lived one day at a time, and is to be shared with others. This New Year, let us pass this gift on to our friends and family, especially our friends in recovery

One Day at a Time . . .
This is how I will live my life: One day at a time, one moment at a time, sharing my precious gift with another through Twelve Step giving.
