Out of curiosity--what makes you afraid? I see others have posted some good suggestions. You are not alone. We do recover.
People have definitely posted some great suggestions... to which I am incredibly grateful.

I am afraid for many reasons. One, I have always found it hard to find an NA meeting with younger members. The people there always tend to be older and it makes me uncomfortable sometimes. The men tend to be creepers. When a younger person does start coming, in the past we have always relapsed together.

Not only that, but I am always afraid to walk in the first time. I get so nervous. I know it could certainly not hurt anything, but I just get scared. And also, I live in a college town and I don't want everyone and their dog to know that I'm a recovering drug addict.
