Hey yo, 

I (Female 27) am going to back to school after the last 12 years of working. I am a recovering alcoholic that never graduated. Now i've been sober for almost a year and i decided to applying to college for a degree in psychology.  Which all sounds good right?? Im excited to learn and meet new people but i cant help this nagging feeling that i am actually too stupid for this. The fact that i got in should be enough right???  I just feel like that last years of addiction have made me too stupid like i wont be able to understand what anyone is saying, i wont be able to write a paper, my vocabulary is juvenile everyone is going to notice and laugh and ill have to try and speak out loud to the class all these thought make me want to throw up and drop out but  I know i need to do this i just am scared that ill freak out and withdraw from all my courses.
