Could my drinking be a way to soothe my nervousness around people, as discussed in the episode Anne Lamott on Taming Your Inner Critic, Finding Grace, and Prayer and the clip Embracing Vulnerability? I notice my fidgeting and a desire for spikes in energy, possibly tied to my interests in coffee and action-packed shows. I fear that changing my behavior might make me more focused, and since I struggle to stay focused in front of people, I worry I'll be left alone with only my achievements, which might reflect a self-limiting belief.
I have a question about the episode 72. Sober Curious with Ruby Warrington and the clip Sober Curious Movement. I've confronted some deeper issues and wonder if I've addressed the easier ones first. Might I have an addictive personality if I obsess over one thing and then switch to another, struggling to maintain a balanced life without feeling guilty about my performance?
