Any suggestion to overcome?

Omg, all the time! You are so not alone, but like others have mentioned…I had difficulty doing it before not drinking. It’s just really noticeable to us now because we aren’t walking in a fog.

It’s ok to be awkward…Your growing and getting use to living in sober skin. It’s gonna take a bit. Be patient with yourself :blush:

Thankyou so much

100% I actually just posted about this myself hoping I wasn’t the only one. I am 5 days sober now and while everyone is different I am already starting to see improvement in this area. It gets better I promise, just stick with it!
