A.A.: How It Works: Letting Go of Fear
"We reviewed our fears thoroughly. We put them on paper, even though we had no resentment in connection with them."
Alcoholics Anonymous
How It Works

Dr. Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D., the author of Love is Letting Go of Fear, suggests that the only impediments to the life we yearn for are the limitations imposed on us by our own minds. Revealing our true selves, the essence of which is love, is a matter of releasing those limited and limiting thoughts.
To live without fear, we must stop analyzing it, stop agonizing over it, stop fighting with it, and simply . . . let it go. How? By releasing our paralyzing preoccupation with the past and our chronic apprehension over the future—which is, needless to say, easier said than done.
A.A.'s Fourth Step inventory gives me a simplistic tool to recognize, identify, and own the fears that have been keeping me from realizing my full potential. Of course, something must be done about it.
We let Him (God) demonstrate, through us, what He can do. We ask Him to remove our fear and direct our attention to what He would have us be.
