Lingus, I was scared of sobriety too, and at the same time I knew that if I kept drinking I would become the sort of person I would have formerly felt sorry for.
To help motivate myself I spoke to my doctor and asked what the future held if I didn't stop. I also read a lot of reputable information online. Google 'stages of alcoholism' if you want to look into your crystal ball.
Finally amend your attitude from something you're forced to do. Sobriety is your choice - be quite clear on that. No-one can force sobriety on you, you have chosen this path with all the pain and gain that it entails.
