I have been drinking on an almost daily basis for the last 10 years. I have used it to enhance the experiences I already enjoyed, and to boost my confidence and medicate my anxiety. Now it feels like it is difficult to enjoy those same things, and the anxiety is full-on.
Confidence levels are actually quite normal though. Seems I really didn't need it for that as much as I figured, or perhaps the confidence I am gaining from my being able to fend off these cravings is replacing what was being gained from the drink.
