Hi Rhonda, welcome to SR! It's still pretty hot in Phoenix, wish I lived in Prescott
I hope you'll continue to share on the forums here, I'm sure your experience will benefit so many others.
Please remember that drinking will not improve any situation, I hope you won't consider it an option. If necessary, call your doctor and let them know you need to get in sooner. Hopefully they'll respond to the urgency. In early sobriety, I was prescribed an SSRI to help with anxiety. It took awhile to find one that worked and then it took more time for me to fully adapt to it.
It's been a few years since I've had to take anything, but everyone will require different measures. I agree that it sounds like you're doing very well in your program. Sharing my experience, when anxiety creeps back in, it helps me immensely to work with others and be of service, it takes the focus off my issues until I reach a point of comfort again.
