Hey Wylie - I can relate to what you are saying completely. Untreated anxiety is part of what got me drinking to the extent that I was. Now that I am sober, a lot of the anxiety is coming back, and all the things that I didn't deal with while I was drinking are now added into the mix. I often feel like a child, learning to live all over again.

However, I wouldn't worry about it...easier said than done, I know. But everything about sober life seems strange at times, so if your folks are ok with you coming over for a nap, why not? Be gentle with yourself and take them up on their way of being helpful to you. Sleep with a light and the radio on for now. No big deal...all part of the adjustment.

Believe me, I am telling you to do as I say, not as I do, but we can all remind each other that IT'S OK. Keep posting - this is a great thread!:ghug
