Recovery is not scary. I think you probably mean addiction is scary. Once I got over the hump and the cravings became manageable, I was no longer scared. My only fear was that I would slip, even though I was experiencing the euphoria of sobriety. Because after the withdrawal, which is a relatively short period, is when the dangerous mind games start. It takes a while to learn to ignore the mind games we play with ourselves and come to terms with the fact that we can never drink again and expect a different outcome than detox centers and emergency rooms.
Don't be scared of recovery. It's a new life, and a relief. Welcome to the forum.
