Fear isn’t necessarily a stop sign
When we’re about to change something in our life, especially our relationship with alcohol, fear has a way of piping up.
What if I can’t cope?
What if I fail again?
What if it doesn’t work this time?
The trouble is, those fear thoughts feel true.
And when we believe them, they keep us stuck.
Stuck in the same habits or routines that feel safer than stepping into something different.
Even when we know those habits aren’t good for us, they still feel familiar.
The familiar feels safe.
Sure, when we make a change, we don’t know how it’s going to be.
That uncertainty is uncomfortable.
But it doesn’t have to keep us frozen like a rabbit in headlights.
What if we chose to reframe fear, not as proof we should hesitate and keep waiting for the “right moment”?
What if we saw it instead as a signal that something in us is ready?
Ready to move.
Ready to change.
Ready to do it differently.
If we’re going to play the “what if” game, we can ask better questions:
What if this time I actually do it right?
What if this time I succeed?
What if this time I change my life, and it works out for me?
