Great job on your first day. I also get anxiety and also used alcohol as a medication which of course only made things worse. After I quit drinking for good it was really hard and I had plenty of bad days but the longer I went without drinking those bad days seemed to appear less and less often. Yes I still have anxiety and I am approaching six months but I am so much more happy and in control than I have ever been. It takes time and the anxiety will never go away completely but it will never be as bad as it was when I was drinking.
