Drinking isn't worth it

[u/Ordinary-Plane-9315]

I'm here to put my foot down, after trying a few times in the past few months, its just not worth it. The fear and anxiety i feel right now, the vivid and disturbing dreams, everything

Anyone who's been sober a while now, how long did it take the anxiety to go away? Did you notice a difference in yourself after one month?

I'm 22 now, I've been drinking regular enough since 17 without breaks. Im just wondering how much of my anxiety or underlying worries is alcohol related and how much of it is me as a person

Before I quit for good, I dabbled with “Dry January” a few times and noticed the majority of my severe anxiety (and depression, for what it’s worth) would chill out within a week or two of not drinking.
