Just try it. Drive with an easy rein; don't worry; seek and be with the Group as much as you possibly can. Coast along with us, work with us, and you will gradually find fear being replaced by confidence, doubts taking wing; depression being replaced by happiness and faith in yourself and others and in the future emerging into the full light of everyday living.
Just try it; keep dry, think. . .a little plea for help from some greater Power. Have patience and you will get the answer to real living and happiness. Then try to return just a little of all that has been given you by trying to pass it on to others who are sick and need help. It's the road to the top of the mountain--into the sun--and it's yours for the effort.
