Welcome Epski.
I have alot of anxiety as well, and I agree with Lind that the swings on alcohol really make it worse. Day 2 and going for drinks? I am not sure. I did go to a cocktail party on day 4, but I had several months of sobriety last year and had alot of practice and felt ready for it. It was a PT corwd where it would not be wild or anything, lol.
Good luck and we are here.
