recovering coping skills

hi there! u have already stepped into the right direction when u realize drinking is by no means good 4 u and can potientialy kill u n the long run.i've been n recovery 15 mos and i had a lot of anxiety issues 2.to build strength i suggest going 2 meetings every chance u get ,at first u need a foundation 2 grow from.second i'd suggest u work with a therapist 2 learn new coping skills and talk about whats stressing u out.i found talking out my stresses took away my need 4 meds and therapy gives me a second opionion on my usually negative outlook.as an alcoholic we must know our best thinking got us here .so n early recovery get second opinions be it therapists or positive clean people n meetings.use all that is avalible 2 u.remember ur worth it.no matter how good a day a sober days always better.1 day at a time.u can do it. goodluck!:praying
