Former binge drinker here. Took me a bit to admit it was alcoholism. Not daily, but frequently 2-4 times a week. About 7 or so months ago I started really cutting back. About 5 months ago I slowed down to once a week or every other week, and as of today I’ve been officially sober for 54 days.
The question is about the anxiety. I drank because of brutal panic attacks. Which created that crappy perpetuating cycle. The anxiety definitely lightened up once I fully stopped.
Then about 3 weeks ago it came back with a vengeance and lately the panic attacks have started back up.
Can someone let me know if they’ve had a similar experience? And if so can you let me know your general journey and path through it all? Please let me know if it gets better or not.
