90 days
I'm ringing in 90 days with a familiar awkwardness and feelings of being an outsider. I don't have anything really to base this on, just my own weird paranoia. I am told I need to find an AA group so I will feel accepted and included, but I am so freaked out by the exposure. I am so proud of 90 days and want to keep building on my recovery.

Wow, 90 days is fantastic! Congratulations Briar!! 
By the way, I don't belong to any external support groups either like AA. I've doing this all on my own too along with the wonderful help from this great forum.
You have a world of support here from your SR family Briar.

Way to go brother. AA is good for some not others. I personally don't like it but then again I can't stay sober for long so maybe I'm one who needs it. How are you feeling? Ok?

Congrats on 90 days Briar
I was an outsider all my life - it took me a little while to feel comfortable and confident in who I was - a little longer than 90 days.
volunteering was good for me - I met new people, I felt useful - maybe it's something to think about?

I thought I would feel great at this point, but I'm feeling very frustrated with everything and wish I could just run away. But, of course, that's what got me into this mess to begin with - trying to escape problems instead of facing them. I need to work on my perceptions because I know my life is going well, but I still feel uncomfortable and unhappy much of the time. It is very clear to me why I turned to drinking. Recovery is tough and I can see now what a long road it is, but being able to be true to myself does give me confidence that I can do this.

Some of us dug ourselves deeper holes than others - it took me a while to find my way out of the hole and back to the sun.
Of course if you're concerned about this I think it never hurts to see your Dr
