Anxiety is quite common in early sobriety, alcohol depresses your brain function so it is literally "waking back up" for quite some time after you quit - and it takes time to stabilize.
For me the anxiety continued for months, years after I quit though and I also needed to address it as a distinct and separate issue that needed a "plan" of it's own. Don't rule seeking help for your anxiety from a mental health professional out if things don't improve long term.
