I can understand being scared - my addiction just about took everything from me - including nearly my life.

I was certainly deathly scared of relapse for a while.

But I've spent a lot of time dealing with my addiction - I know I can deal with everything it has to throw at me.

I've also spent a lot of time rebuilding my life and my self. Still a work in progress but I like the results so far.

I know for a fact I put all that at risk if I drink again.

I'm no longer insane so the old thoughts really lack any power now.

So no not scared - still respectful of the relentlessness of my addiction sure, and not complacent or smug...but not scared...not any more.

That's not why I'm here

Don't you feel that way too wpainterw?
