I'll third that... I spent most nights awake for hours panicking, days with a haze of fear and worry let else trough the roof... and now it's so much better. The good news is even though I had a few drinks a Xmas. .. the calm came back quicker than the first stop time! I wish I hadn't had a drink, but I can't change it.... so just look forward... onwards and upwards!
I really feel for you, I hope u can keep of the drinks... and I really hope u start to see little benefits soon... I wish I could do more for you x
