The Path of Recovery appears to be one of uncertainty, of stepping out into the unknown and of being able to remain solid even when we don't know what the next moment will bring.
So many people will never realise their own recovery because they place certainty so high in their lives that they never break free and dive deep into the unknown of step one. It's a rare individual who feels the fear and does it anyway. It's an uncommon person who steps out into the unknown and goes ALL IN with their recovery.
The goal for us is not to shy away, no, our goal is to step out even though we are terrified of the unknown. We are journeyers, we are travellers, we are Seekers on a Path to recovery into our own Highest Potential. We are not promised certainty from the world, but rather from our Faith in the program. It takes a strong person to step out into the unknown, day in and day out, to risk being wrong, to risk making huge mistakes when the stakes are even bigger and to be willing to fail. It takes an even stronger person to fail and then to pick themselves back up and realise that failure is only failure if we give up. Instead, this strong person sees failure as a lesson, as an education and as a test of how much we truly believe in ourselves.We struggle for progress not perfection.

You see, success on The Path to Recovery comes in two forms: the first is being able to keep going when you would normally quit (this is a HUGE win), the second being self-realised enough to be free from or at least understand your fear. In surrender we succeed, in failure we gain success.
