    Sounds great! What I found out, and I think many others had similar experiences, was that my anxiety got much worse when I quit drinking. Because I didn’t have alcohol to self-medicate and kill it. However, being sober also gave me the clarity to deal with what caused it, so I just wanted to say that it’s great that you’re working on it!

      Yeah, I think I used drinking to numb feelings of anxiety and depression, and quitting has made them surface up much more. It feels like I’m able to process them much better now, and don’t make things worse with bad decisions, worse health, etc.
