text: how do i quit drinking without having anxiety?   deal with the anxiety before you stop, go see a professional counseller or pychotherpaist. most alcoholics often drink because of the anxiety they feel with whatever is the issue. get rid of that, then your subconscious will not feel the need to get drunk to forget what it is you are anxious about.  there is always another way, but you need help. its important to get things done the right way round. the drinking is often a symptom and not the cause. get rid of the cause and it will help you come off the drink.  good luck and best wishes
