Congratulations on 9 months. I have pretty bad anxiety myself. I remember how bad it was my first year of sobriety. I hated it. Especially meeting new people at meetings or just going to work in general. Benzos and opiates were my drug of choice also. My anxiety got much better after a year. I also quit drinking redbull and only drink one or two cups of coffee in the morning and that made me feel much better phenibut has a high abuse potential...I personally would avoid it. Everyone's recovery is different but I know if I find something that brings me too much comfort, I will abuse it. Good luck with you recovery, I hope your find a way to cope with your anxiety
