Thanks all. I have overcome a great many fears in my life. I used to be frightened to answer a phone, speak to a shop assistant or ask for help with anything.
I guess that's why this on-line community has been such a big help to me because I don't need words.
I'm thinking all this through. I'm meeting my sponsor and going to a meeting tonight. I may speak to her again about it. She has lead me out of the darkness and shown me so much. But this is a huge deal for me and I'm not sure it's as simple as 'just doing it'. Maybe it's easy to forget what it's like when you've many years of solid sobriety behind you.
Thanks for your advice x
