it gets better, for 42 years I've been trying to drink away anxiety. Who knew stopping the maddness would relieve anxiety??? I've been called into meetings recently at work and am suprised how well I can perform on projects now (maybe not so well on this site tho) but really, to me it's amazing, I'm phyched and enjoying the interaction, and I've had extreeme anxiety. hang in there!

I've noticed the same thing, Dan. We were only making our problems worse & more complicated. Who knew? Glad you are feeling better & enjoying your sober life.

Thanks, this is really good incentive for me. I have severe anxiety and OCD. I take an SSRI, and I do notice how much better it works when I'm not drinking.

For me, it was the wicked anxiety that finally pushed me into quitting. Many people report some/alot of anxiety right after quitting, for me on day 6, the anxiety is like 1/10 of what I was feeling right before quiitting!
