AA Thought for the Day

I finally yelled for help at my home group's meeting.
The first thing I discovered was that I was not alone.
Almost without exception, my AA friends admitted
that they had struggled with the same feelings.
Some claimed that their fear of rejection
stemmed from a lack of self-worth;
some of the men laid the difficulty to feelings
of inadequate masculinity stimulated by years of drinking.
It was also asserted that we couldn't stand the responsibility
of being loved and so sought rejection in subtle ways.
About the only thing that everybody agreed on completely
was that this problem, like our drinking problem,
had a spiritual solution.

Thought to Ponder....

Situations I fear are rarely as bad as the fear itself.
