Turtle,
I had anxiety really bad when I quit. The world seemed to be moving to fast for me.
Fortunately, when I was in my home, relaxing, my anxiety would quell.
But, when I did new things, went to places that I had only been to when I was drunk...which literally was everywhere, the anxiety would ramp up.
But, since I had SR, and my quell times, I knew it would go away eventually.
It has now just about dissappeared. It took nearly a year.
If I would have known what I was doing to myself 20 years ago, I would have dropped the booze like a hot rock.
Now I know.
Alcohol is poison. Don't believe the hype.
