When you take off the leash, it's uncomfortable for a bit. Scary at times, in fact. And most will have a tendency to want to put the leash back on, because that's the life you were accustomed to...the leash is what YOU KNOW, and running free is UNKNOWN, therefore rather uncomfortable. This is where you have to have faith in what we are telling you... in what your gut is telling you... in the voice in your head that led you here....that there is a much better way to live. I'm telling you that that feeling is legit. Trust it. Remember it when you weaken. Ask us to remind you about it when you reminisce fondly about the old life. Remember that your old leash represented slavery, not comfort. Congrats on seeing the light. Now keep walking toward it.
And all the congregation says... Amen.
