I went to the doctors regarding my anxiety, I've been put on some medication and have been told to give it a few weeks to feel the effects, I've also been put in for counselling and advised to cut down on caffiene and sugar and reassured that anxiety tends to peak for a while after quitting drinking and smoking, and this should improve in the next few months.

I've started meditating as well and going for walks, I've started to feel more in control of all of this.

Just thought I'd give and update for everything who was kind enough to advice me through a difficult time the other day

No Relapse, No Surrender

Tom.

Good to hear and sounds like good advice. It takes a while to find the right combo of meds and such to combat anxiety and/or depression.
