scared of anesthesia process and losing control

hello, this is my first post here. i guess i’ll just cut to the chase and bottom line it. this is something that disrupts my peace and steals my time thinking about it and i can get into very self sabotaging behavior so i would like to hear any and all support related to this subject.

basically, i’ve been sober for a while now and treat it very seriously. if anything so much so that it’s one of the things i’m very proud or happy/ grateful for in general because i have a clear head and able to be present with all my thoughts, emotions and experiences.

for the past month or so i’ve gotten increasingly scared about a possible visit to the dentist to hve these wisdoms extracted as i have been told i have 4 of them, i would like to see if this is optional for me and have heard about pain meds too and if it came down to it would either request ibuprofen which i take and don’t consider that a break because that’s not a mind altering substance or just none at all and roughing it honestly. but like i said would like to visit and see if i really NEED to go because if given the option not to, i won’t.

my fear is losing control. i like to feel completely in control and present with my sobriety and the fact i’m not using anything and i look at the fact that they are putting you to sleep and it scares me and it disgusts me and frustrates me. if i’m sober i don’t need any reason to have to be put into a situation where i’m under something like that because it disrupts my peace of mind and makes me feel i have to start over in a sense ?

i am very grateful for the insights and learned experiences i have and it just frustrates me and my question is will that alter my brain chemistry or mess with me at all and will i go back to normal after a possible procedure ? i appreciate anyone’s opinion and honestly would be assured with some support and maybe to hear that i’m just tripping out over this. i’m just scared of that whole process, i don’t wanna do it and scared about the thought of it and just don’t wanna lose my track not in a way it would embolden an addiction but just in general don’t like it at all.

thanks for reading this and i appreciate any opinions on the matter. i hope everyone has a great day, and thank you very much
