Congratulations on 57 days, Crucrimbo. That is brilliant! Maybe your anxity doesn't have much to do with lack of drinking. Maybe you are tired, or hungry, or lonely. Maybe your body clock is off. Go for a walk? Get outside? Fresh air is always good. As to regret about past actions, well, you will have to find a way out of that. If possible, make amends. Write a letter ithe person you hurt in which you own every part of what you did. You don't have to send it. Sometimes just writing it down helps with clarity and serenity. When I taught, we used to spend a fair amount of time going over apology of actions, or, in 5-year-old speak: "Don't just say sorry. SHOW sorry." Small as they were, the children got that immediately. I have always believed that children have an innate sense of fairness and justice. Anyway, peace and good luck.
