I had an ACL about 8 yrs ago, you'll be fine if you do the PT. My advice:
Get a good surgeon.
Start PT as soon as they tell you to. It's not gonna be fun the first few weeks, take the pain killers before going to PT and work hard. Really.
I found getting to full extension was the hard part - had the knee scoped a year later to finish the job.
Squats. As soon as they let you. Get access to a cage or a smith machine, or better buy one & stick it in your basement. You will be surprised how quickly your leg will lose size & strength. Incresed muscle strength will improve your overall knee stability.
Good luck! Hang in there, this is not fun but I'm sure you'll get through it.
