Awakened with terror....like when newly sober
Need help with this one. For the past few days, I have been startling awake with intense anxiety like when I first got sober. I am just over 1 yr sober , my date is 6/23/12. The anxiety is over real and imagined fears, especially regarding either my children or my finances which are still very stressful. I jolt awake with pounding heart and crazy fear. Is this still PAWS? I am working a strong program, and when I redirect my mind, meditate or pray immediately, or just get into action for the day this helps but perhaps I am missing something. My sponsor says stick close to program, take next indicated step in the moment. I did just spend some time with my ex-husband when I went to retrieve my kids. Still many issues working through there, divorced 2 years but only now since sober am I addressing the very toxic, codependent dynamic with some clarity. This is very difficult. Perhaps it is this. Thank you for reading and in advance for any insight you may have
In gratitude
