Does the anxiety ever go away?

I'vw stopped smoking a year ago because it's just not enjoyable anymore with how anxious I get, however I was thinking it may not be the weed but rather anxiety in general, around the same time I started getting that crazy anxiety with alcohol too. No therapist has been able to help me decipher where this came from yet (or they're just not willing to). My question is, does it ever go away? Has anyone had a long break like this and been able to go back? I miss having fun. It's been getting a bit better with the alcohol but it's slow progress.
