Anxiety and Drinking

22 days in and the level of calm I have is insane. I had no idea that drinking as much as I was (largely to numb the anxiety) was contributing the sense of doom and despair. My heart no longer beats out of control while i'm laying down. I can rest my head on my pillow and not feel my heart beat in my head. One of the biggest improvements and most surprising change to my health since cutting out alcohol 22 days ago has been my anxiety.

Just wanted to share. I've been reading everyone's posts for a while (especially during my first week of sobriety) and have felt compelled to share a little something. Thank you everyone for your honesty and experiences. This group is amazing.
