Welcome to SR!
I think it's a wise move to stop drinking as it's a progressive disease and will only get worse. I too used to get horrible anxiety after drinking. Now that I'm sober my anxiety and depression are more manageable with my meds. Now that I'm sober I no longer worry about money spent on alcohol or the many bad possibilities that can happen from drinking.
I hope we can give you the information and support you need to stop drinking for good.
