Thanks guys. I've read all the PAWS stuff and seen a doctor. His first (and only) solution was a steady dose of benzos. With my addictive personality this just isn't an option and I'm looking for a new doctor. I'm riding it out but it's comforting to hear other people's experiences with the anxiety.
It comes in waves. I'll have good days and bad days. Good hours and bad hours. At least it's not as bad as the anxiety while drinking.
Boh347: I agree; and thanks!
Hypo: I've been using self calming techniques and they work well enough that I don't get panic attacks. I wish they would make the anxiety go away completely though! lol.
