I think an important thing is to ask yourself why you fear it.
I am new to recovery, and I feared going to the doctor. I thought he might scold me, look down on me, or tell me that I had helath problems beyond his expertise. I was dead wrong. He was elpful, encouraging, and understanding.
Tonight I go to my first AA meeting.
At first, I feared that too. I thought I was admitting to being a degenerate. After feeling great all day, having medical help, and encouragement of my best friend, I am going to walk my happy ass into that meeting, and say "I'm an alcoholic, and I am not ashamed of it. It was out of my control, and I am going to wrestle away that control....that S.O.B. is mine!"
I am going to take back all of that time that I spent thinking about booze, drinking alcohol, recovering from hangovers....not to mention all of that money....and I am going to find out what else is out there in the world.
Instead of dreading getting out of bed and finding every excuse not to work, I am going to be out and about growing my company.
I am going to meet a nice girl that is not a bartender or waitress.
AA's going to help with that.
good luck.
