I’m five days sober now and am feeling slowly but surely a lot better. I’ve mended important relationships and it makes me feel great to almost. . . brag? About being sober? Even though it’s only been 5 days lol it just feels great to get that good for you look. Of course I don’t seek anyone else’s approval but my own. Still it feels nice. I finally did something that I’ve been told to do for years now, and that’s see a mental health doctor. Diagnosed now with severe anxiety and depression, started taking my meds today. Wish me luck on that.

Five days is massive, and then going in to see a professional. Very well done.

Congratulations on 5 days! Those first few days are always the hardest, great job on persevering and getting there!
One of my goals for sobriety is also to get to a mental health doctor. I suffer from servers anxiety and depression like you, it is so tempting to have a drink when the anxiety kicks in.

Meditation has really helped me with my anxiety as well as drinking teapots of chamomile tea.
But yes a professional is good help.
And meetings for when those cravings hit hard.

Is anxiety part of the symptoms when no longer drinking ? How about panic attacks and lack of sleep ?
