“The first and great commandment is ‘Don’t let them scare you.'”
— Elmer Davis
In my sobriety I still need to deal with fear. A fear of people, a fear of not being good
enough, a fear of saying the wrong thing, a fear of not looking “good enough” — fear still
haunts me in sobriety.
However, my recovery also tells me that I am a child of God. I am a beautiful and
powerful human being because God not only made me, but has shared something of His
precious divinity with me. I am good enough. In Him I can afford to risk. Love must begin
with the recognition of self.
Today I must remember that people are not “out to get me”. I need not make myself the
victim. People are much the same inside, and we all need each other to survive.
