I’m gonna stand my ground, won’t be turned around, and I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down. Gonna stand my ground, and I won’t back down.
~ Tom Petty
Security is the result of a dedicated effort toward a goal. We feel secure in our Fellowship, some more, some less. Security comes from the safety and confidence we get from building on the working principles of our Program of spiritual growth.
We know that our progress can never be taken away from us by force or under-handed dealings of others. Our belief in the security of the Program defies those who try to betray our trust or draw us back into addiction. Security is the knowledge that it is possible for the most hopeless and helpless victims of any addiction to find recovery. Security is also a shield against our own acts of carelessness or feelings of overconfidence.
I have come to feel secure in the Program and my recovery. I won’t let others or myself bring me down.
