Well done on 70 days!

I experienced major anxiety and depression for almost a year after quitting - remember, when you drink for 10 years you aren't going to bounce back right away.

What if your statement said: "70 days in Shanghai and I still am not fluent in Chinese". Well, we'd say of course you're not. Two months is not enough time to learn a new language, culture, and speak fluently.

Patience is key. In my case, I decreased my anxiety by doing things that made me anxious. After a while, I experienced success. Start with little things (ie: go out for coffee by yourself, go for a walk in the park, etc). Mark off these small achievements in a diary or by putting "X" on a calendar.

Learning how to live like a sober adult is daunting and very challenging at first. Have patience, relax, don't push yourself and keep your goals achievable. Good luck and well done so far.
