Anxiety in Sobriety

Feeling so alone in a crowded room 
Missing your friends while finally seeing who your true friends are 
Wanting to get out and go have fun
But realizing your old ideas of fun only ever landed you in trouble 
Starting to see what everyone else was seeing all along
Ashamed of who you were before
Knowing you never would have gotten where you are now without being that person 
Conflicted by your own thoughts and emotions 
Feelings start rushing back that you had blocked out
Your heart starts pounding as if it will burst out of your chest 
Unsure of how to survive your new journey through sobriety 
Keeping your inner circle small
Reaching out to everyone on your list
Expressing your anxiety 
Explaining every little trigger 
Praying they will understand
They tell you to breath it’s ok to not be ok
