The large majority of my sobriety so far has been spent at home, indoors, put away, for fear of slipping up. I am prone to terrible social anxiety and always used alcohol to loosen me up. Today I will be venturing out without my beloved social crutch. Part of me is excited, but I cant lie that I’m also terrified. I’m not afraid of slipping up as much as I’m afraid of having a panic attack and feeling the need to escape. I just want to go out and have fun like a normal person… is that too much to ask?
