“All men of faith have courage. They trust their God.” (Page 68, Big Book)
(3) Cowardice
The coward in me shrinks from difficulty and cowers in the face of an uncertain future with all its horrific permutations. I avoid responsibility and avoid reality. Behind all fear is cowardice.
Antidote: Muscle up and face everything; square up to the reality of today, big and strong, brave and cheerful, with a helpful, can-do attitude; refuse to let anything get me down; insist that God is with me now, guiding me right now, giving me everything I need right now, and that that will always be the case, so there is nothing to be frightened of.
