It’s difficult feeling like a stranger to myself. I don’t know this person. They say it’s ok to grieve your old drinking self, I guess that’s true. I certainly don’t want to drink again but I’m also uncomfortable in this new skin.

Oh ya for sure I can relate. In early sobriety my thoughts & feelings were all over the place. Definitely some awkward & uncomfortable times. But also some wonderful and interesting times too! Just know It’s ok & normal to feel weird, it’ll pass. In time you’ll balance out & normalize. Expect accelerated growth.
I hope this helps. Reach out anytime.
I felt the same way not long ago but decided to embrace the journey of finding the new me and so far that mindset has helped me a lot! I’ve experienced a whole new confidence. You got this!
Yeah I’ve discovered that I actually like being with myself., it’s such a freeing feeling…. and then when I looked around there were all my new AA friends waiting for me.. what a great design for living. Reach out anytime
