Scared to be sober

I love riding motorcycles and going really fast! Last night I went riding sober and I was terrified! I love nature and everything about the out doors. But when I am completely sober, I cant even open my front door. How do I f'ing do this?

Mandy, baby steps. Transition is always uncomfortable for most of us. But together we can do it!
I had to rebuild my life from the ground up. It was challenging but so worth it!
I’m here if you ever want to talk or have any questions

It's anxiety from no longer having alcohol.

It's what happens when you stop alcohol until your body gets back into chemical balance.

For me it was around 2 weeks of very uncomfortable anxiety.

You will level out just stay strong.

You got this Mandy!

I love nature and riding to. Gave it up in my addiction because I would try riding n end up on the ground. Figure one those times I wouldn’t get up. Riding sober i luv. There’s several people that ride here. Doing things in early sobriety felt different as it should have. The more I adapted i wouldn’t go back for nothing. First get a sponsor n get a group of people in aa that u can do things with. If your young I was when I came in that’s extremely important. Just give time time. You’ll get it.:muscle::pray:t3::hugs::heart:
