Anxiety

From what I can tell, anxiety seems to be very common for people for a while after getting sober, but I wonder if something I'm doing is making it worse.
I quit all caffeine about 5 years ago. Coincidentally I started my heavy alcohol drinking right after that. Anyway, since really trying to quit since 2/1/15, I've been really tired all the time. About a month ago, when I took a family vacation, I began to take caffeine pills to keep up with my kids. After returning home, I still kept taking the pills because I constantly stay tired, but yet it says right on the bottle that it can cause irritability and nervousness. I'm just making things worse for myself. Time to cut way back on the caffeine or quit completely. Sorry, I just needed to vent about it.
