Staying Clean and Sober in The Everyday World

Today we continue to look at our fears realistically.  this is a much needed step toward maintaining sobriety and recovery.  This is  just another part to our relapse prevention.

Yesterday we developed a list of fears that are present in our lives.  Your list should be specific to you.  Today you will need to place them on paper to take a closer look at them.  divide your paper into 2 columns.. In the first column list the fear that you experience.  In the second column you will need to list exactly why you have that fear.

Here is an example:

I’m fearful of             Why do I have this fear?

flying                               the only time I flew I ened up with a severe earache and infection that lasted 2 weeks

heights                            I do not have good balance and I do not want to hurt myself by falling.

Now you know 2 of my deepest fears.  It is time to do your own list.  Tomaorrow we will get into everyones favorite subject.  You guessed it.   SEX   I’m sure we will have alot of new visitors with that one.   LOL
