Welcome Chitown.
The fear of the unknown is sometimes overwhelming, I can relate to that. With support here and other places like AA you can find you're not alone in this journey, and there are people who want to help you for free and for fun. That's how I stay sober and it's worked for me for a little while now. One other thing, I guy once told me that courage is not a lack of fear, it's when you do whats right in spite of fear. 8 days shows you're doing what's right for you, in spite of fear. God Bless
