I know exactly what you mean. I depended on pills in every social situation for over 10 years. I'm at 103 days and still get a bit wary if a dinner or family gathering is coming up. I found that the more of these situations I experience clean, the better I feel about them. Give it time; do the things you used to do on meds. Eventually you won't give it a second thought.

I have had people tell me I'm not myself. Kind of sad, because I really wasn't myself on the pills. I think it just takes us longer than we think to find out who we really are and to get back to being that person. Hang in there. It will come, it just may not be on our timetable. Don't give up. I do believe that eventually we'll get there.
