I suffered from devastating anxiety during my drinking days (18 months sober now).

I was surprised how the anxiety just melted away after about a month and a half of sobriety. I've also been surprised that worry and anxiety doesn't trigger an urge to drink as I thought it would.

My urge to drink sneaks up at unexpected times, but I've so deeply come to understand that alcohol only inflames anxiety that I don't regard it as appealing when I feel worried or anxious.
