Do we really want to be rid of our resentments, our anger, our fear? Many of us cling to our fears, doubts, self-loathing or hatred because there is a certain distorted security in familiar pain. It seems safer to embrace what we know than to let go of it for fear of the unknown. (Narcotics Anonymous Book/page 33) Narcotics Anonymous
About This Quote

I do not know what the future holds for me, but I know that I must keep fighting. I will never stop fighting for my well being. I will not give up, until I have conquered all fears, all doubts, all anger and all hatred. I hate that anger consumes me, that its power over me is so great that it often forbids me from seeing the beauty in life around me.

There are many times where I feel so disconnected from the world around me because of the anger that consumes my soul. But, there are always those moments where I realize what a wonderful world it really is. So many things so beautiful to look at, so many people who love me no matter what.
