Identity and fear
Ok I thought about not posting but I have been scared lately. I am seven months sober and I am 30. I feel immature and afraid all of the time. When I started drinking at 15 I started out drinking alcoholically. Now I am having a difficult time feeling like an adult. I did have an alcoholic gf but she is now gone. Why do I feel like a 15 year old in a old mans body? When I was drinking I thought it was an adult behavior but I can see now I was childish and pathetic. It feels like I never matured or grew up. Does anyone have any experience with maturing in sobriety? It scares me that I have so much internal work to do. I want to grow up but I know it will not happen overnight. My ex was 28 but drank and she acted immature. Thanks for reading.
