Recovering Addicts. Have you ever experienced anything like this?

Panic attack type of symptoms, heart racing, paranoia, trembling, locked up like frozen inside…. if you are in the presence of someone showing typical signs of a drug user??

I’ve been clean over two years by the grace of God.

I wonder if anyone else who is recovering from addiction experiences these symptoms. It’s never anyone I know, it’s just randomly in public places…in the community that I live…not “friends” of mine…just people who look and act high..it freaks me out, to a point of physical and mental panic.

How can I deal with this in a better way? I almost feel as if I am on meth again when this happens… horrible fear and irrational thoughts..its scarey.

brings back bad memories. After two years I would think this would slack off but it seems to be getting worse?
I don’t want to be so strange. It’s embarrasing if I am around people I know, it’s tough to hide what’s going on inside of me., and I know so much of it is trauma from the past., my perception
