Welcome Kelly!
I was terrified when I first thought about giving up alcohol, but it was the alcohol that created 99% of my anxiety and depression. It got harder and harder just to get through the day (to the next time I could drink).
Things got a lot better once I got sober. I couldn't imagine not drinking "forever" so I stayed sober one day (or one hour) at a time. Stick around and keep reading...... we know what it's like......
