I also applaude. This is not an easy thing. And as an old-timer in AA who I greatly respect points out, there is a big difference in learning to not drink and learning to live without drinking. I know a lot of miserable ex-drunks in AA. I don't wish that on anyone. It takes honesty to look out ourselves and realize that there has to be more -- and I see that in what you wrote. But on the flip side, it also takes time. As stjames points out, one thing might be figuring out whether the anxiety you have been self-medicating needs a "proper" medication. Or it might just need some self-examination to figure out its roots and all.

But most important is that you are not doing this in some sort of blind stupor -- you are walking this path with honesty -- and I think that is so critical in any growth. You are to be congratulated. Keep posting.
