"Unreasoned fear is a master intellectual fraud practiced upon the evolving mortal soul."
The Urantia Book

"Unreasoned fear" was my main problem for most of my life. I lived with a myriad of fears which were too awesome and terrible to face. Since finding this recovery program, I love the fact that I no longer have to live in fear. The realization that most fears are "intellectual fraud" is a wonderous one.
One slogan that I recall about fear says, "Future Events Appear Real." That is the first one that really helped me to realize that many fears are not real. By working the Steps of this program I have managed to stop attempting to live in a future filled with fear. When I focus on just being here now, living in this moment only, I don't have to run from fear.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will stay in this moment. I will look at the people and things that are here right now, and I will enjoy what my Higher Power has given me.
