Hi sk8man121
Welcome
I found after many years of drinking that it was actually exacerbating my anxiety - when I drank I got anxious, and when I wasn't drinking I was even more anxious - at least for a while.
You may want to consider the possibility the same thing is happening here, and cut the cycle entirely.
Of course the very best thing to do is discuss this with your doctor if you haven't done so already
