fear (noun)
An unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm.
There are two powerful aspects to fear:
- The more scared you feel, the scarier things will seem.
- Fear dictates the actions you take.
Entire countries have been thrown into war because of fear. Most people are primed to fear something. So the question today is: “Are any of these fears a real danger that could cause real harm or pain?”
Reality Decoded 
I’m practicing a 12-step program in Alcoholics Anonymous. One of the slogans is that fear is:
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
Staying sober one day at a time is a discipline that keeps me from being afraid of things I cannot change. The discipline helps remind me that I can summon the courage to face down death with an attitude derived from my contact with a higher power & a community of alkies who are also available as allies in the fight to maintain an outlook on life that fortifies the mastery of skills I need in order not to ever drink or use again. I truly fear dying from an alcoholic death or drug overdose. My life makes sense in regard to guarding certain boundaries. Taking a close look with a friend or, if a friend is not around, ‘turning it over ‘ to my higher power (whatever it is important am afraid of in the moment ) has kept me relatively sane and serene for many years even though I’m a mental & physical wreck!
