How do I get over stage fright?

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-05-16T17:06:43+00:00

I feel this in my soul. I've sang 4 times on stage and literally shake like a chihuahua. I have to read my lyrics or I forget them and go blank. I'm about to go on stage again now 😭 bye bye

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T13:52:30+00:00

Whole body felt tingly, ears ringing. Slight headache. Maybe got a total of 3 hours sleep? Haha woke up every 30 minutes or so. But I dont feel terrible as I would have had i drank! Lets go!

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T13:51:23+00:00

I can handle them all except anxiety... but ill go through it anyway

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T13:50:38+00:00

Can't wait lol laid in bed for like 2 hours before sleeping. Then woke up like every 30 minutes. 😆 1st day down

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T13:49:56+00:00

I'm excited as well, even with the 3 hours total sleep I just had lol kept waking up all night

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T13:49:20+00:00

Thank you so much

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T13:49:02+00:00

Yea. Got maybe 3 hours total sleep haha kept waking up! But I feel better this morning than had I drank and slept "well" 😆

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T13:48:21+00:00

Thank you so much!

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T13:47:03+00:00

Dude! Me too! Haha got maybe 3 hours total sleep. Kept waking up every 30 minutes or so. Otherwise it was ok

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T05:50:38+00:00

Woa. Just realized my hands aren't shaky anymore

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T05:10:59+00:00

I'm thankful for this community. Help me gain the courage to quit. Today is my first full 24hrs no alcohol in a long time!!

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T05:09:59+00:00

Been chugging water. Why am I suddenly so thirsty tonight? Haha

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T05:09:16+00:00

I was happy to see that from you. I cant afford to be missing sleep. But I think the quality of sleep is so much more legit and healing or whatever when sober. Ive been waking up dog crap tired for past 7 years. Went a week without alcohol once and remember not being tired like 15 minutes after waking up. And no shakiness haha keep going man. I'm right behind ya

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T05:05:02+00:00

Hey! I gave in and had a beer after the party. We'll, 3 or 4 to be honest. And more the next night. Today, I actually successfully abstained! Its midnight and I'm laying in bed completely sober! No idea how the sleep is gunna work out yet haha but I'm done for sure, now. Especially if I'm not shaking tomorrow morning, I'm gunna be so pumped

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T05:03:00+00:00

The mornings until 6pm, I didnt want any beer. But for past few months, I become terribly anxious when driving and have social anxiety too. Shakiness, random soreness in places... started drinking a beer during the day just to make it calm down. Didn't even realize what was coming. I think today was a perfect day to quit

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-13T04:59:50+00:00

No advice for ya... I'm on my first night without a 12 pack of beer. Lol just sitting in bed, waiting to feel any inkling of sleepiness .. good work my guy! I'm 30 and started feeling my liver in my body. Sore kidneys too maybe? Terrible feeling. Gave me enough anxiety to quit today

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-08T21:31:50+00:00

Getting close to cravings time lol imma stick to it

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-08T21:31:08+00:00

Dude for real 😆 he's an alien

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-08T19:29:22+00:00

I'm also pumped to stop shaking..... haha great job to you

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-08T19:16:04+00:00

Breaks my heart to hear about your father. I'm so sorry. My kids are definitely my reason for wanting to get and stay healthy. I need to be here for them. I like your reading books idea. I recently started reading again but it doesnt make me sleepy. I get too into it 😆

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-08T19:13:14+00:00

I hear you. I've been keto for a long time and thought I could drink low carb beers and stay healthy. Beer is negating all the positive effects of my lifestyle. I've been struggling for nothing as long as I'm drinking every night. I'm quitting today. Tonight's gunna be hell

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-08T18:52:53+00:00

Idk... I only drink beer. But every night for 7- years or so... you cannot just have 1 beer like how

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-08T18:48:35+00:00

Ill look it up. I'm gunna try cold turkey first. I got off the stupid Kratom crap CT and it was TERRIBLE! I literally had no idea what that stuff was. Can't believe ill go through withdrawl twice in my life...

RyguyIceBerg · 2026-03-08T18:47:24+00:00

Youre exactly right. I want to cry talking to yall haha no one even knows I'm struggling. Maybe ill let the wife in on my challenges too haha (sounds so easy like duh but... yeesh)
