I never had bad anxiety till I quit drinking. About ten days into being sober it got bad. I just hit the 3 month mark on Monday of this week. My anxiety has lightened up a little, but is still present. I had some bad panic, feeling numb, short of breath, body aches, headaches. I had lots of days were I had to stay inside and be away from everything. I feel that as the months have gone on, I am starting to feel better. But just like everyone says, it's different for everyone.
