Damn scared an vulnerable
I posted earlier, I thought at that time I was ready to go to the mental hospital. Honestly I am scared to death, I am worried the world will think me crazy, I am scared I am going to be abandoned, that everyone is going to pass judgement.
8 months ago, I made a decision to quit drinking, I made a decision to quit this habit, I made a decision for the best, I never thought in a milion years, I was going to have to admit I lie, have mental issues, am not perfect, and need help! Wow, I've come a million light years, but now on the eve of doing the right thing, I am scared!
Yeah this 6'4 240 lbs man that is built is scared. scared to death like a baby. Well still strong in my commitment to do this, but worried and nervous. Quitting alcohol, has really been an eye opening experience. Now I suppose tomorrow I confront my demons and move on.....
Stay safe and sober friends, I am grown azz man with my back against the wall worried about what might be, could be, and will be. Good night friends thanks for reading.

I recently received a business card with a Theodore Roosevelt quote on the back. I thought of the card when I read your post so I'm passing it along to you.
It may or may not help- and I'm certainly not trying to be 'preachy'. Sending it your way just in case. Stay strong!
"In the battle of life, it is not the critic who counts; nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled, or where the doer of a deed could have done better.
The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiently; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is not effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends oneself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even through checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much becuse they live in the gray twighlight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

Fear can bring anyone to their knees - regardless of age, size or health, TDG.
It's natural to be scared - but the likely outcome here is a good one, right?
Getting help and support
Try and not let your imagination run away with you - you're a normal guy a good dad a good husband, a fine and trustworthy employee...from all you've told us, there's no way you're a danger to yourself or to others.
I can't see the future, but odds are you'll be back home at the end of the day with your loved ones and a little more help behind you
take it easy man
