My friend... who I was dating until a couple of days ago is an alcoholic in recovery.
He has a lot of anxiety.. and I was wondering how much that has to do with physical cravings. I know he does not want to be a problem drinker anymore and spends all his time in meetings. But can someone explain what it feels like and do you think that the physical pull of the cravings is causing most of the anxiety, or fear of relapse?
I did not know he was actively drinking when we started dating because he lied and said he was sober 5 years. We broke up so he can focus on getting sober. I am hurting about the lies. I do not know if the cravings will continue to cause anxiety 6 months from now, 6 months sober. Thoughts? Your experience? I am not addicted.
