Exactly Hopscotch! I never really suffered from anxiety until the last couple of years when my drinking had really spiraled out of control! I had a hard time driving also. Sheer panic. It is amazing how much better every aspect of my life is. Most of my problems are solved! Even with all the positives, I have had urges today since I originally posted this thread. People are out drinking everywhere here today! I am staying the course, and rewarded myself with a small piece of chocolate cake and a movie. I take the moments as they come, ride the wave, and keep going.
