I started this thread a while back, check it out, it’s about social anxiety. If I remember correctly, there were some good suggestions in there.

Also, now that you did use, you may find that door to a relapse still open. Only you truly know if it’s open or not. I just want you to think about it.

Another thing I remember from my time in NA was this quote out of the Basic Text, "You never HAVE to use drugs again." That simple, yet profound statement floored me when I read it. I almost fell out of my chair when I read that!! For some reason, even though I had completely quit drugs by the time I read it, I still had a notion in my head that I was gonna use again, but reading that statement helped me to understand that I really don’t ever have to use drugs again. I used drugs because I wanted to, not because I had to. Once I realized that, I started trying to understand why I wanted to use drugs and one by one started addressing those behaviors and thoughts that made me want to use.

In your case, you’ve already figured out that social situations tend to make you want to use and that’s a huge breakthrough. It took me months and months to make the progress you’ve made in a few days!!
