My anxiety and mental health have improved substantially.
I used to need a Xanax every morning to survive the hangover and steady myself (this is after chasing the final drink of the night with a Xanax).
Now those pills are not needed. I still take an SSRI. Not mixing it with booze probably helps.
Regular exercise and cutting a lot of junk out of my diet helped as well.
