Dub - this is great news, and we're behind you all the way. I'd been drinking 25 yrs. & when I stopped the anxiety only lasted a few days. The feeling sorry for myself lasted a few more. Then that was it - I learned to live in a new way, without my crutch. It turns out I never needed it at all - it was just a lie I told myself.
Be proud for never giving up on yourself and your desire to be sober. We know you can do this, and we're here to listen and help however we can.
