"Worry and fear can alter our perceptions until we lose all sense of reality, twisting neutral situations into nightmares. Because most worry focuses on the future, if we can learn to stay in the present, ....we take postive steps toward warding off the effects of fear. .....
But today, our program, our fellowship, and a Higher Power allow us to view this self-protectiveness more objectively. ..........
Today I will recognize that worries can be potent and mind-altering. I choose not to indulge in them at all. ..........
I just want you to know that I do enjoy your posts, read them, but do not always reply to the ones like this one. I can sure relate to the worries being mind-altering and potent. Worrying has always been a major shortcoming for me and this is something I do and have been trying so hard to overcome. Reading what you put here is sure powerful in that if I put this type of message in my mind, then it will certainly out talk the worry messages that talk to me. your friend in recovery, cdb :)
