Yes. On my first two days this time around, my anxiety was through the roof. Chest tightness, restlessness & honestly feeling like I was going crazy. But, now I am on Day 6 and it has started to subside.
As hard as it is, the only way to help alleviate it is to just not drink. Your AV will definitely try to feed off of it, you just have to resist. Whatever it takes. Each day will get better. Hang in there!
