Hello,

Since the first week of June, I have been sober. I have had tough time emotinally with anxiety, depression and insomnia. I have sought treatment for these things. I realize when I was drinking that I was self medicating underlying issues. I am dealing with those issues everyday along with almost constant low-level anxiety. right now, I dont have anything in my life that is causing anxiety. I think it is just from the withdrawl of alcohol. I have'nt wanted another drink of fear of starting over with horrible anxiety. Right now, I just feel bad and not really enjoying life. Will my with emotions improve? Is this part of recovery? Can it take months..or years? reassurance from those who are going through recovery give me a little hope when Im feeling bad! Thanks
