Fear is a natural and primal feeling, and I discovered it was not so much the many fears itself in my early sobriety without alcohol which created tons of anxieties, but rather my own awareness that I now was actually being responsible for my own thoughts, feelings, and actions. My anxiety about being the real me without booze was my actual problem to be worked on, and when I worked with others who themselves were struggling, I soon discovered my problem was not really not drinking. Not drinking was actually the best choice moving forward, and although scary at times to be sure, learning who we really are to ourselves and to others is a huge relief. So, stick with staying quit. Work with others. And don't try to deal with all your fears at once, okay? I suggest dealing with whatever moves you forward, and leaving the rest for another day. Pick your battles in ways which give you every opportunity to be victorious!
