Security is overrated.

It's our vulnerability and weaknesses that are our greatest gifts. Forcing us to bend and stretch outside of our self imposed comfort zones and constraints.

What do we really "know" anyway ? Isn't that why we are here ? To always experience and grow and try and fail and try something else ?

It took me a while, and still is a struggle to get over the fact that I don't need alcohol to socialize with people. I am becoming more comfortable, and working to change things about myself that make me self conscious.

So glad you posted this, been struggling with this very issue this past month, 7 months sober and still not always sure what to do with my feelings of inadequacy now that i cant hide from those feelings with the wine. At times its very overwhelming, im glad im not alone. its all about learning how to reframe my thoughts.

It sounds weird but when I feel overwhelmed with insecurities I do some really strenuous exercise and it helps it go away. Give it a try, it might clear your head.

I actually am really loving jazzersize right now i went yesterday and danced my little heart out and put all my bad feelings into every move, i was exhausted halfway through the class but pushed through, afterwards i felt amazing, exercise definitely helps for sure. Even a walk can clear my head of bad thoughts.
