Stick it out, it will go away with time. I have about 8 years sober under my belt and it does get better. AA might be the thing you need, I just quit and went thru hell, and learned the ropes the hard way.
8.5 months is too much time to throw away, Try AA or a consuler or a pastor or a good friend who will listen to you, it will be worth it I promise.
Good luck to you ................I think you need to talk to someone who has been there!

when i quit drinking i had so much anxiety and fear in my life, i went the 12step route
found out that the steps brough me emotional balance
people who stop an addiction need direction, right now it seems as if you have quit drinking but have done little to work on yourself
are you willing to try aa?
