Thanks for that FreeOwl .
Heading towards 4 weeks sober I occasionally get waves of impending doom ,like a fear that starts in my groin and sweeps right over my head . This can happen for no apparent reason and leaves me weak at the knees . I have had problematic anxiety most of my adult life and used alcohol to get me out of it . Fortunately these fear , dread, gloomy episodes are few ( once maybe twice a day ) . If I get too tired and try to push on its not good for me but I'm finding it hard to relax for long , always finding another task to keep me occupied . Sleep is still not great ,waking up worried and panicky at all hours ,don't know why but use what ive learned on anxiety management to get through it .
Alcohol of course never was and never will be the answer .
