I think I've figured out my increased anxiety. The last week I’ve had much more caffeine and sugar (real and artificial) than usual, and I think that quitting drinking can be as stressful as drinking, maybe more so. I’ve trained my body for years to exist at a certain level of chemical pressure. It’s not going to correct itself in a month, or even three months. I’ve got a long way to go and I’m perfectly happy about that!
