This poem is the inspiration of this site. I try everyday to overcome my greatest fear.
Our Greatest Fear by Marianne Williamson from her book A Return to Love.
Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinkingso that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously giveother people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I first heard this in the movie Coach Carter. I have been looking for it every since. This is so powerful and I wish to share it with everyone I know. It's a motivating tool for us all.
Congratulations on being sober for so long! I think I can empathize with you and you should be proud of yourself.
