I have been clean and sober for 7 months. However, I have been isolating for the past 2 weeks because of my fear of what others are going to think.
I tell myself, "what others are thinking is none of my business" but it isn't working this time.
I live in an apartment complex, so my excuse for today is, its Saturday and most people are probably home today so more people are going to see me when I go outside. I know that sounds crazy but its for real.
It is also because my confidence and self-esteem has been seriously compromised due to my wife passing away on February 24th of this year. She made me feel good about myself and I don't have that anymore.
