I have been waking up and immediately feeling all my anxiety and sadness in my chest 
I’ve been trying meditation, breathing, venting, and music but it seems the emotions have gotten much stronger after 73 days sober. Will hit a meeting by end of day. Have a great day, friends!!!

Has it been constant since you quit drinking or has it gotten worse lately?
It has definitely gotten worse. I was positive and everything before my second month mark along with the crazies but lately it has been jacking me up! Lol

Maybe get those endorphins pumping and go for a run?

Can you trace the root of the anxiety? If I stop and think about my anxiety I can pinpoint where it is coming from. A lot of times it is financial, loneliness, or wreckage I still need to deal with. I found a lot of freedom from doing a 4th step and processing it in a 5th step with another person. Usually I am trying to hide from a problem I don't want to deal with when I have anxiety.

Yes, working out helps me a lot. Just passed a week of it! Mostly weight lifting lol I hate running but I guess I should include that 
Oh most definitely I can LOL I got cheated on, broken up with, waiting on a court date, having to find room mates to help keep my house, and my little family is falling apart no matter how much I change. Very stressful times!! Just being open, but a meeting helped out a lot and I reached out to people a lot yesterday and got a few more tools in my bag along with a big decision of having faith in what I can’t control/ self awareness and a hope I wouldn’t have gained without a friend!!
