NO NEED TO BE AFRAID -
"Despite our desire to recover, we may find that we're feeling frightened at this point. This fear is only natural. After all, we're about to confront the exact nature of our wrongs, candidly admitting our secrets to God, to ourselves, and to another human being." (It Works, How & Why, p. 35)
AND STAY THE COURSE -
"So intense,
though, is our fear
and reluctance to do
this, that many A.A.'s at
first try to by-pass
Step Five." (12 &
12, p. 55)
"Our deepest fear
is not that we are in-
adequate. Our deepest
fear is that we are power-
ful beyond measure. It
is our Light, not our
Darkness, that most
frightens us."
- Marianne Williamson (1952 - ) spiritual activist, US presidential candidate & founder of Project Angel Food
