Default Dropping a bike for the first time!

I just wanted some input from those more experienced than me. I have this dreadful fear of dropping my bike for the first time. I've been riding for approximately 2 years now (excluding winter obviously) and I know that day will come where I run over something, or something/someone forces me to drop my bike. I feel I am a very sensible rider. As my dad always said to me, "Get good, then get fast" and to this day it stuck in my mind. I know I cant stop the innevatable from happening, I will drop my bike at least once in my life. So is there anything that you more experienced riders can tell me to help me get thru this.

(Maybe I should call Dr. Phil)
Thanks
