Hi,
I felt the same way when I stopped drinking. I suffered from anxiety-based insomnia as a teenager and had found alcohol to be a way to go to sleep (or better said, attain unconsciousness). Like you, I had a fear of the insomnia returning when I stopped drinking. Happily I can say that I did not have too many problems. Some things you may want to consider....
- watch the coffee/surgar intake if you are going to evening meetings.
- find techniques for curbing anxiety and excessive thinking. I went through a course called "Mindfulness" that focussed on breathing exercises and yoga. Both have helped me to relax more.
Good luck
