Oh yes anxiety, vertigo, dementia (etc.) for many years before I decided it was time to quit. I'm happy to say that after 14 months sober I only have a few moments per month where I don't feel quite right in that sort of way. I am able to cope with it now unlike when I was drinking nightly (12 pack +), everyday was a nightmare of my own creation. By the time I quit I only got about one hour of relief each day by drinking.
I can do lots of things now that I never would have done years back (due to anxiety\impending doom), I get very tensed-up on the freeway but that's about the only time for me now.
I wish you well, stick with it and you will understand exactly what 'Recovery' means.
