Hi Dan,
If you read any of my posts i can share with your post a lot.
I drank everyday really for about 10 years between 8/10 pints a night and quit cold turkey a long with the smokes. Like you i had all the withdrawal symptoms. Now however 9 weeks sober today i still have anxiety and i suppose depression i myself have always worrried. However i am constanly thinking of what i have done to my body or that i have some serious illness been back and for the doctors some many times i have lost count. i have had blood tests (liver function) that doctors has said not worry about but still do. Every twitch or ache i think something else is wrong, i now have a bad chest coming on and have automatically think now my lungs are F..... it seems that it never ends at the moment. I have wanted a drink on so many occassions to have at least have a break from these thoughts (thinking if something is wrong then F.... I.) but i havent because people keep saying it gets better, they cant give a time or date but it supposidly does. So keep at it and good luck.
