Most of my anxiety as an adult was generated from my drinking. I am 99% anxiety-free now that I’m sober. While I was drinking, I wasn’t convinced that the alcohol alone could cause that much change in me. Escalators, bridges, balconies, airplanes, confined spaces, being the center of attention - all became torture for me. After 30 days sober, I noticed a significant difference. Now 5 years sober and I know that never want to feel that way ever again.
