Great to hear you have quit and made it through the night at work, that must have been tough. Great job on the days sober as well.

Regarding your last statement, you may want to give a meeting a shot. And I'm not an AA member so i'm unbiased by any recovery method. If you can stand in front of a crowd in a bar, you'll have absolutely no issue with an AA meeting in regards to your anxiety - I can almost guarantee that. You might learn something too, never say never!
