I worried about that too. Then someone said to me - what if you're right where you need to be right now?
It didn't happen immediately but that was the start to me relaxing - eventually I stopped worrying, realised I wasn't in competition with anyone, and realised that as much as I wanted to be fixed NOW I needed time for mind and body to heal.

Who would I ask? Aaaaahh. Someone very kind did give me a BB tho. It's in my drawer. I could try reading it.
Just don't say anything now I've admitted all that.
Everyone is afraid at the start.
I worried that sober me would be a profound failure at life because thats what drunk me told me for 20 odd years....
Instead I found I was more capable that I'd ever imagined....but I needed to get out there and give things a go to find that out.
Its scary - but you're not alone Weev
