I'm suffering from panic attacks. It effects me in social situations. I hate this but I'm not using over it

That is good that you don't feel like using. I have had those in the past and I try if I can to meditate and center myself.

If you are a reader, and it is an easy read is called “Don’t Panic” by Reid Wilson. A psychologist recommended it to me years ago. Still the best out there in my opinion. Believe it or not, one of the biggest fears people have is fearing the next panic attack. Easy read and tremendously helpful. Feel better my friend. Using will only make the attacks worse. I know from personal experience. Breath big slow deep breaths and try to center yourself. Feel better!

Thank you for the recommendation

You are very welcome :blush:

Proud of you Matthew!!Your taking a stand and declaring that you will not use regardless of how hard or uncomfortable it may get. I pray your panic attacks slowly but surely get better over time and you continue to stand firm in your sobriety. When I feel a panic attack coming on, breathing exercises help, going to the bathroom putting some water on my face and neck help, and always having a bottle of water or seltzer on me helps as well.
