Body Tics & Continuous Movement

TD;LR; Did I do too much meth and mess up my normal body movement? Is this permanent? I'm scared my managers are noticing my non stop feeling to movement

I hope everyone is doing well with their recovery efforts and temptations are not strong today. I'm new toI moved a lot when I was using like keeping my mouth open for a long time, moved my lips, consistently moving my tongue. I itched but didn't get meth sores. I moved and reacted fast to things.

Well since I've been in recovery I've noticed that while I'm sober and being away from this drug that it might have left me with some tics or movement disorder at the worst and I'm scared of any of that and want to know if this is permanent or if I will go away if I keep abstaining from doing meth.

I started at a new job(hooray!) and I am in a classroom setting for my training and to top it off I decided to sit front and center because that's where I usually sit in scenarios like this because I retain knowledge much better. This might be backfiring on me.

My shifts are 8 hours in this setting and I've noticed that I can not sit still especially if I'm nervous(like when the trainer calls on me to answer a question or when I answer questions for class discussions) and I will consistently do things like rub my arm with hands gently, twiddling my thumbs consistently, itching or moving like a tweaker when I have itches in general. I also have issues with making eye contact or feeling like I should look away from things rapidly because I feel like I'm staring too damn long at something.

My question is, does this go away after awhile? Please tell me it does because if it doesn't I've fucked up everything that would make me not seem like a drug user when I've already fucked everything up from drug usage anyways. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any insight/advice?
