Performance Anxiety

This is kinduva personal issue for me, but it's perhaps the most annoying, so I'd like to see a little "hope". I have suffered a few 'bouts" of performance anxiety throughout my adult life, but recovered quickly, as I had booze to fall back on. Booze calmed my nerves and restored my confidence. This morning, I was physically "ready", as has been the norm lately, but when my wife was going to 'oblige" me, anxiety took over the situation. I HATE that!!!! Hate it, hate it......Anybody got any suggestions for something to calm my nerves? Wife understands, I think. It's got to be a little annoying for her, too. Back when I was drinking, I think that I put too much emphasis on sex. Heck, I almost "worshipped" it. I have never been unfaithful to my wife, and I have enjoyed a very active life with her in that department over our 20+ years of marriage. Physically, I know I'm fine, but the "key" element in this department is mental.
