Drinking made my anxiety a lot worse. Once I got sober for good, my anxiety is manageable. What kept me chained to the bottle was that I couldn't get thru the awful hyper withdrawal anxiety, and I'd have a drink to quell the anxiety... which started the withdrawal all over again.

You have to get thru the first week. I always found the first four days were the worst. Once I got to day five, it got better.
