Roby, you can do it! The anxiety is normal and will pass! The great news is that you will never have to feel like this again!!! Once you get through this you’ll be stronger and wiser. Remember this misery when you feel like using again.
I had to utilize the power of the program and sober community to get and stay clean. We are here for you!

CONGRATULATIONS on your sobriety. You're starting on an amazing journey in life. Let's call it Robyn 2.0.
Robyn 1.0 was like a human hurricane that turned into a human tornado 
destroying everything in her path and making poor decisions in life.
Robyn 2.0 is sobering up. She's no longer the human hurricane nor the human tornado . Oh granted there are a few dirt devils that pop up now and then. However Robyn 2.0 is like a phoenix rising from the rubble to restore and rebuild her life.
You can do this Robyn. You can do this.

Day 1 jitters are real. Just breathe, hydrate, and get through tonight. Tomorrow you do it again. You made it this far and a day one is HUGE. Proud of you
Congratulations on taking a huge step. I had a ton of anxiety and still do. If I ever say "I got this" then I'm in trouble.
I know that I can't stay sober by myself. My disease wants me to isolate and hide. It wants be to lie, cheat and steal. It speaks to me to rationalize why I should pickup. Bit says "You have a lot of problems, it's ok to pickup."
I have to take action contrary to all that. I have to go to meetings. I have to read about my disease. I have to learn how someone else got and stayed sober by working with him. I have to be honest with myself first and with others. I have to be of service and help others (maybe start with taking out the trash at meetings as a start). I have to thank God for allowing me to wake up, and thank him at night for the day I had (which may have parts that were challenging, he still kept me on this side of the dirt). I talk to him throughout the day. I don't make any big decisions before talking to someone with good sobriety (sorta like the 24 hour anesthesia rule).
One day, sometimes one hour, snd one minute at a time, things become less anxious for me.
