When I walk in the room with all those people I start like sweating and feel so anxious. I get terrified. I don't know how to shake the anxiety.
My sponsor has brought another woman over and we had a book study last week. I'm just afraid to leave my house.
Make sure your doctor is also aware of the anxiety issues too. My Drug of Choice was alcohol, so I can't speak for WD from other drugs, but anxiety was a symptom of my early sobriety too. It got a lot better over time, and there are also treatments available if it doesn't.
