Fear must be faced headon from "summary" of Alcoholics Anonymous, Fourth Edition by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.
Fear is a powerful force that can hold us back from living our lives to the fullest. It can prevent us from taking risks, pursuing our dreams, and making positive changes in our lives. In order to overcome fear, we must confront it directly and not allow it to control us. When we avoid facing our fears, they only grow stronger and more overwhelming. We may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as alcohol, to numb the fear and escape from our emotions. However, this only serves to exacerbate the problem and keep us stuck in a cycle of avoidance and self-destruction. In order to break free from the grip of fear, we must be willing to confront it head-on. This means acknowledging our fears, identifying their root causes, and taking proactive steps to address them. By facing our fears directly, we can begin to dismantle their power over us and reclaim control of our lives. While facing our fears can be intimidating, it is a necessary step on the path to personal growth and recovery. It requires courage, honesty, and a willingness to be vulnerable. However, the rewards of facing our fears are immeasurable – we gain a sense of empowerment, self-awareness, and freedom that allows us to live authentically and with purpose. By embracing the challenge of confronting our fears head-on, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities and opportunities for growth. We learn to trust in our own strength and resilience, and we discover that we are capable of overcoming any obstacle that stands in our way. Fear may be a formidable adversary, but with courage and determination, we can face it head-on and emerge victorious.
