Congrats on 14 days. It can take a while to level back out. I know for me personally it took about 2 years. Don't let that discourage you. Making the choice to get sober will be well worth it in the long run. It all depends on how much your brain chemistry changed while using. Keep your head up, and keep pushing forward. Oh and on the meds you take for your anxiety, stay away from Benzo's. Things that are fast acting like Xanax an ativan can prolong your recovery because they do they same thing to the central nervous system that alcohol does.
