A week is awesome, TS! Amazing how quickly the anxiety fades, isn't it? I was gobsmacked at how much the alcohol was making mine worse -- I'd been using it to self-medicate for years. I didn't realize how deep the effects were on my body until a week or so in to sobriety. The palpitations got ready bad with withdrawal. Actually, before quitting, I was waking up with them every day, and thought it was *just* anxiety but after quitting drinking, I realized it was the booze that was causing them. (I was having withdrawal every day from the previous day's drinking.... insidious cycle.) Wowser eye opener. Congrats on one week!
