You are definitely not alone in these thoughts. In fact, I just over-thought this reply!

I can understand that people on here probably feel like that, I feel like we are kindred somehow, but the people at work seem so solid and better, surely not plagued by insecurities.

Day 66
Had my little boy tested yesterday. He is very proud of his tattoo they gave him. Now waiting for the results.
And yesterday a close colleague of mine said something so weird. I know most people are having vivid dreams of drinking alcohol or using another substance while recovering. But my colleague had a dream about me, she bought wine, broke a glass, found a new one and poured the wine in the glass and then realized I donāt drink anymore. Thats how close we are haha appearing sober in her dreams.

No way. Itās called being human. Donāt you ever listen to podcasts where influential and successful people talk candidly and explain that they canāt believe where they are, or what theyāre doing? I would say that pretty much everyone feels this way. Some people have the balls to admit it, and some are too afraid to.
The people who donāt (feel this way) are probably psychopaths, or French, or something.

Iām starting to realise that Iām a bit up and down in all of this. I am back to absolutely LOVING being sober and everything that it brings. I had a bit of a wobble a few days back where I was really contemplating taking a month off with my wife. That led me to a few days of white knuckling and being a bit down on the whole thing - but I am SO glad that I stuck with it. I am so happy with the simplest of things.
Thank you to everyone for pulling me through, but particularly to @Its_me_Stella, @M-be-free49 and @Alisa for your three rat-a-tat-tat messages. They really made me see what I would be giving up, both in real life and in here. Thank you.

Is there a cultural factor here? I could imagine keeping up appearances is a big deal over there?

āpsychopaths, or Frenchā
Lol! (no offense to any French people, I would love to give no fucks like I think u do)
u are probably right, these guys at work just seem so self-assured tho.

I definitely relate here! For me, this is a good measure of my mental health. I notice when I am doing/feeling well I am less in my head, more free with my words and actions, and more content with how I feel about what Iām doing vs worried about what others think of what I do/say.
Iāve noticed when Iāve been consistent with certain habits like meditation and yoga that overthinking calms down a lot.
Have you ever noticed a time where those thoughts have calmed down for you?

Day 2*
Over a week sober from drinking and Iām starting to feel it! Such relief to have the anxiety decreasing finally. I have a job interview this morning so Iām trying hard to stay centered and prepare myself.
Happy sober day yāall

Sorry. I permit myself to be casually racist toward the French because I have a French wife, 4 French kids, and an entire extended French family.
In fact, I know that they are also riddled with self doubt, despite apparently being outwardly certain of everything they do.

Er, if I havenāt interacted with people other than my kids and husband? Pretty much everyone else I replay conversations and analyse afterwards.
I maybe should start meditation or yoga. I am supposed to for my 11th step.

Haha, gotcha, I can be the same with the Japanese. And our partners probably say similar about us, queuing and drinking tea on cloudy days, etc.

Day 978. Over 8 months ago the climbing indoor places closed and are now open since some weeks ago. Today I took the chance of saying, yes, Iāll give it a try after 8 months. Holy cow. My partner is hopefully patient as he is a human ape and I am āwell not soā. Anyways, if I wonāt try, I wonāt know and i wonāt improve for sure.
Found all the eqipequipment. Thatās good.
