It’s never to late 
I’m also back in school and I’m hoping that some of my insecurities will slowly fade having some good teachers helps keep climbing

I'm in school for the first time in over 20 years, and it was terrifying at first. I pay attention, take good notes, and ask lots of questions. The only stupid question is the question that goes unasked. I've learned that whenever I have a question, that there are others thinking the same thing. I swallow my pride and ask the questions now. That's something I'd never have done in the past. I have to trust God's plan for me, and keep doing the next right thing, and the payout is a life beyond my wildest dreams.
If I could recommend one thing that's been a huge help, and that would be AA and diving head first into the 12 step program of action. It was funny, after my meeting yesterday I was scrolling through my phone looking for a text message from the morning, and I had to scroll through about 20 different conversations. 
At the end, when I was isolating there were none. I had isolated myself from everything and everyone out of fear. That's exactly where my disease wants me!! Alone, isolated, and afraid.
When I trust God, the fear becomes manageable. You don't have to trust everyone you meet, but I trust my friends in recovery until they give me a reason not to trust them. Then I simply cut ties with them and move on, like most civilized human beings do naturally. 
It takes work, but I wouldn't trade my life for the world. Not even for a time machine to go back to my teens for a "do over". That's new for me too, I lived with such regret that I always wanted to go back and change the past.

Good Morning Dee Anna,
It takes time and I have trust issues as well. I suggest from experience, it will all fall into place on “life terms.”
