Most definitely can relate. For me everything was new, in a sense that then I was facing everything sober for the first time in my life. Even something as simple as the cable bill in the mail could cause me to panic. I still recall even when the gas gage in my car was down below a quarter tank and having it happen.
I spent many years making mountains out of mole hills- simple things like just paying a bill or filling up the gas tank. It took some time for my thinking to change and see them small things were really small things.
It has definitely improved over time with practicing the solutions. But I still get times I can go into freak out mode. But they aren't that often.

Something very good for me to read this morning, mrjustin:
You don't mention that the thought of drinking comes up, which IMO is major progress for ya!
