Not feeling very social

Hey LateTTG
Let’s see. You been sober a little over a month? Congratulations are in order. Getting through the Holidays and all. Huge congratulations!!

I would say these are all normal feelings. It took me awhile before I wanted to be social again. I’m not all that social anyway. But after awhile I felt better about myself and didn’t care what other people thought in social situations. It is :100: normal and very advised to be selfish to your sobriety. You do not have to attend anything you don’t want to.

Gratitude is my strongest tool for my sobriety. And it fights anxiety. There are lots of scientific studies out there on how actively practicing gratitude defeats anxiety and depression. The brain can’t focus on both.

We got a great thread with a wonderful bunch of people that come on daily and write and read and share their gratitude. It’s been a game changer for me. I retrained my brain.

Come on over. I’ll save you a seat.
I’m grateful you reached out for help.
:pray:t2::heart:
