Things that help me when I am AFRAID


Which ....has been often in the 1st few years back in recovery ...here are some things that have helped me which I would like to share;


Fear = F.alse E.vents A.ppearing R.eal


Trying to stay in Just Today ... a day ( a minute) at a time


The "Just for today " Bookmark REALLY helps me "Just for today, I will be unafraid"...


Lying down for a few minutes "with my Higher Power " and breathing out Let Go , Breathe in Let God ... repeat for 5 - 10 minutes .... deep breathing Let go , let God


And a thing I found on a retreat:


GOD'S WILL


Do not look forward to what might happen tomorrow,


The same everlasting Father , who cares for you today


Will care for you tomorrow and everyday.


Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it .


Be at peace then , and put aside all anxious thoughts and fears.


 


And finally ... when I think "I'm afraid , Im scared" I work to immeadiatly SUPPLANT that thought with "I am UNafraid" 


And I repeat "I know God always takes care of me and meets all my needs"


 


Im having a good day , hope this helpes somebody


Much love in recovery,


Fiona
