The 152 is very stable, and if a spin were to occur, relaxing all control pressures would likely restore normal flight after some oscillations. Stalls terrified me in the beginning, and while I do not have a passion for them now, I am not afraid of them either. The banked stall in a Cessna is a non-event, the nose just drops.

Your main problem is not using the rudder. I'd suggest some slow flight at MCA (min controllable airspeed) to really give you a feel of the rudder, especially at higher power settings. Remember to "pick up" the down wing with the rudder.
