[QUOTE="soberups, post: 970775, member: 14668"] As one who has some level of familiarity with Bill W's writings, I can tell you that the "evil and corroding thread" refers to those of us with fear-based character defects that compel us to try and manage and control all of the people, places and things in our lives. We want to "play God" instead of simply turning the things we cant control over to Him and accepting the outcome. Reasonable, prudent precautions do not an "evil and corroding thread" make. I do not "fear" getting in a traffic accident...but I still wear my seatbelt whenever I get into the car. I do not "fear" fire...but I still keep a fire extinguisher handy in my kitchen. And I do not "fear" getting robbed or murdered...but I still carry a gun whenever it is possible for me to do so. [/QUOTE]
