Facing My FEAR Living in my head might be safe but it wasn t getting me ahead. Although my inner survival instinct told me I had everything to lose, a smaller quieter but growing voice was telling me I had nothing to lose and everything to gain in reaching in and reaching out. To risk is to change, to change is to grow. This is where support groups became beneficial. It gave me a place where I could open myself to others and also get feedback and encouragement to move towards healthier behaviors.
Support groups are a safe place.
I began to focus less and less on others and focus more and more on myself. I don t want to run the whole show anymore. I want to embrace the imperfection and feel a part of the whole. Not the God of my childhood. A benevolent God I can trust for the highest good of all concerned.
