Anyone else find social anxiety still a problem even after a couple years sober? It seems to come and go at different levels for me, man, and I really don’t wanna take meds for it.

I feel it after just 3 days! However mine is not social just inward, and at 2am when i just need sleep alcohol was my sleep pill!
Many people are anxious and depressed in this country right now. The struggle is real
It's the same for me. It comes and goes at random

Hello Ryan, yes it happens to me as well. Some days I’m on top of the world. I can talk to anyone about anything. Other days I don’t want to say a word… I find that lack of sleep or too much stimulation causes this behavior. I just came back from a 5 day road trip and I’m feeling the effects of over stimulation. The good thing is I can recognize it and I’m learning to be kind, patient and loving to myself when this happens. Give yourself a high five in the mirror today. Then do it every morning. Tell yourself you’re worth it and you matter. Positive thoughts towards ourselves is a must. Remember easy does it.
I definitely felt that last night going to a concert where there was drinking all around. It was definitely overwhelming but there’s nothing like feeling in control of your senses. Hang in there brother.
Medication can really help.
