They are two things that i agree is most definitely a key into beating it, if it will be beaten. Im glad you are trying to keep improving your situation, thats good. I was given good advice by someone, "why not do something once a day the produces anxiety?". I think i am going to begin doing this as it cant do me any harm (only anxiety wise ha! but better in the long run for anxiety)

I agree i need to stay away from alcohol. On friday night (wasnt on drugs) but i went a bit psycho. I was drinking spirits which i gave up awhile ago due to blackouts, but on friday becoz i wasnt doing drugs i wanted to get hammered so drank spirits and not only did i do some crazy thing, i discovered i was turning into my mother (a physical & emotional abusive alcoholic). I brought that concern up with my addiction counsellor today and it is an area i will be working on. I dont want to give up drink (who does?!!) but i know at some point it is something i have to do for myself (anxiety and anger). It will help me when i chose to give it up, but it scares me. Scares me due to the lack of social life i will have. Coz i dont have much of a social life anyway. But none of my friends will ever understand the effects alcohol has on me so screw them...
Take Care
