Cbt is really great for treating and managing your anxiety. I had to take all kinds of meds the past few years for my anxiety and depression after sobriety, and I hated all the side effects. Finally my new doctor recommended joining a cbt group and over the course of just 16-weeks I was enabled to take the upper hand on my anxieties. You have to work on the coping skills exercises in between sessions if you want it to work. I do the TEA form exercise from the cbt book by sam obitz everyday to keep on top of my anxieties and they really keep you focussed and energized.
