Being scared is normal. It’s the goal that keeps you focused. You’ve chosen to be a better person by not being so selfish and you can do it just like anyone else.
You're taking a huge step. It's going to be scary. Totally normal. But choosing the sober life is worth it all.
That fear will pass with time. Welcome
I’m scared shitless myself! It’s helping me to stay in the now. I can be sober at this moment. During this hour. For this day. All we got is this day so let’s focus on it and it alone.

Hi Phil, what are your fears? When I have overwhelming emotions/feelings I work to get to the bottom of them. Figure out what’s causing them, and see if you can make adjustments to release the feeling. With fear I always write out what I’m afraid of and then play the tape through for each item. This way I can see the cause of the fear and then remind myself of the actions I am doing to avoid/prevent the items that I’m afraid of. I hope that makes sense, ha. Keep going Phil, take it a day at a time and celebrate each victory! You got this!
Best of luck on your journey. Any type of big change is scary. This change is gonna be so worth it. Hang in there
