Fear of sobriety isn't crazy. It's irrational, but that doesn't make it crazy. It is a hallmark of addiction. The addiction makes you
feel like you can't live happily without it. Your rational brain tells you that's crazy, but it's still how you
feel. I know. I was loaded with fear of sobriety when I first joined here.
What I know now that I didn't know then is that I was a slave. I was not free when all I thought about was when I could drink again. I didn't know I was a slave until I was free. Strange but true.
I no longer fear sobriety. I would have never achieved that if I had continued to drink. Freedom is exhilarating. I highly recommend it.
Best of Luck on Your Journey!
