Today I am 90 days sober.
Over the last 3 or 4 years my anxiety and stress have been brutal.
I was in denial that alcohol was causing anxiety and stress because I had been drinking everyday since 1989 and never had a problem.
Well today my anxiety and stress is at an all time low and I am able to think clearly without being drunk or hungover.
My body was screaming for me to stop the madness but I had to hit rock bottom first. Good thing I listened before the booze killed me.
