Hi, I'm new here but I just wanted to send some positive vibes out to my fellow newly sober, anxiety prone comrades. I have always had an analytical mind that gets stuck in repetitive loops with a touch of what I thought were OCD quirks. Sobriety has brought MANY gifts including the double edged sword of feeling things again, but amplified. With this gift, my OCD quirks have evolved into a compulsive checking nightmare. It takes me an hour to leave work at the end of the day and I constantly check the floor to see if I accidentally dropped something even though I know I haven't and I feel a generalized sense of tense, hot, oppressive anxiety. There are some days I can feel it start to lift, like the free me is starting to peek through the clouds. I know it will get better for me and you. Our minds are strong. I long for serenity.
