Hi Deserto
yeah it's scary to be sober - but it's scary to be 'that guy' too...and it's scary to put all you love and hold dear in your life on the line.
Getting sober is a leap of faith - but it's one I've never regretted
Support really helped me - it doesn't have to be AA - there are other options out there too:

There's us too of course - I know you'll find a lot of support and ideas here as well.
Welcome
