JME, but that fear in early recovery was my friend. It motivated me to do what was needed to recover. Each time I got to something I didn't want to do, I would read something like' "If we skip this vital step, we may not overcome drinking". Yikes! I better do it then. I wanted to end the misery more than anything, and the fear of going back there was a positive thing.
There were lots of other fears too along the way. Fear of failure, fear of rejection etc, But I eventually that the answer to normal life fears is faith that it will all work out. And it did.
Maybe I should add that there was a point where I was done with the stuff I feared, the uncomfortable things a good program of recovery seems to demand. That was when everything seemed to change. I no longer stayed sober out of fear. The sober life became so rewarding and attractive I would not change my worst day sober for my best day drinking. It wasn't choice either, it was just the new normal.
