I really think that if you stop (drinking) the anxiety or at least the intensity of the anxiety will subside. I don't have any issues with anxiety or nervousness or the creepy crawling feelings I used to get.
The only reason I hate to run to the doctor is because they always 'give you something'. It seems counterproductive to have an addiction problem and they give you pills.
My Dad used to say that diagnosis is 90% of the problem and the 10% is how you handle it. Or something like that.
After reading your post, though, I'm feeling the need to shower. LOL
