Knowing that there’s nothing I can do to make my court date faster and it funny it’s not alcohol related. I’m innocent of what they’re charging me with and because of covid the date to plead not guilty and get my lawyer to fight this has been pushed back and back.
Knowing it’s out of my hands gives me both anxiety and relief.

Hey, Coral. I know what you mean. I’m getting better- but I tend to be a worrier. I hate when things take forever to resolve.
I know it’s easier said than done and I can’t relate to your situation - but breath. Enjoy your life. Worrying doesn’t take away the trial it adds to it. Be optimistic. I believe you’ll be good.
Yesss same definitely an extrovert lol
My biggest struggle is fear of “I'm not gonna make it." I have to make myself remember that I've made it every day so far, then I tell myself I will make it today.

Reading a lot. I think reading books about spirituality and self help and learning about how to cope has been really helpful for me. Also therapy.

Dealing with things that don't go as planned. I plan and organize months in advance. I have my mind made up on how things should be. If something changes at the last minute it's difficult for me to come up with an alternate solution. So I guess thinking on my feet would be my biggest struggle.

Same Tori I tend to want to plan things in advance and when they go a different way it throws me off . Uncertainty is horrifying. I feel like there was so much of it in active addiction that it’s quite Difficult to handle sober. That’s definitely something I work on with my sponsor and therapist .
