I drank in large part because of anxiety. But the thing is, the alcohol only made it worse. While I was drinking, I felt pretty good...but then the anxiety creep back in the next morning. It was a horrible cycle. I would have panic attacks, fearing I might die at any moment. Awful stuff! But since I stopped drinking *20* days ago, I haven't had a single panic attack (once the physcial withdrawl ended, of course). I still have some cravings, but they pass. I feel really good and motivated. I was pretty antisocial when I was drinking and that is starting to change. The beginning of this journey is so scary but it just keeps getting better, darlin. Best to you. I'm glad you've shared your feelings and I'm beaming lots of love your way.
