Finding your strength
It sounds like a lot of us here struggle to cope with everyday stress after quitting alcohol or drugs. I personally have a lot of anxiety (whether related to the drinking or not) and feel that I overreact to things that “normal” people would take in stride or know how to handle. I think the source is a terrible fear that I won’t know what to do in a given situation and will a) look stupid, or b) cause harm to someone/something due to my incompetence. Does anybody else feel like this?
I’ve recently started some meds and set up counseling to help me work through this, but I wondered if anyone here had insight on how they have found inner strength or learned how to cope with life again during sobriety.
