Hey Clara, I just wanted to let you know I completely identify with the fear.

I drank again after 4 years sober. One of the worst things during that period of drinking again was the fear. It was almost overwhelming in between binges.

It was this awful, almost impending sense of doom, if that makes any sense.

That fear didn't go away overnight when I drug myself back up the steps to AA and started over again.

In spite of the fear, I just kept putting one foot in front of the other, and doing what I needed to do for my recovery.

Those steps will help you again, dear, I guarantee.

The only way to get past the fear is to walk through it.
