18th January 2012. The icy fear that paralysed me is beginning to melt. Deep inside me resides a fiery strength & power. It lay dormant for years. Now, in recovery, it calls to me. I stand on my own two feet. I walk through the Twelve Steps. Sometimes the responsibility scares me, but it's also empowering. If I fall, I can get back up. I have choices. I make my own decisions. I am strong. CoDA Daily Meditation.
