Many people living in one day at a time recovery have experienced, and will experience, the fearful me. The fearful me is part of our conditioning that happened during past trauma and does happen because of current triggers or stressors. What most of us discover is the fearful me, even after many years of recovery, can still be a part of our life and our recovery. The anxiety we feel is often difficult to deal with but we do our best and often we do deal with it. It’s not always easy but we usually do okay. We all might not be heroes but we do participate in life, and recovery, the best we can. It’s all about the doing and the continuing to do. Peace.
