I have 6 months and while I will not return to alcohol to manage my anxiety, I do accept that anxiety is something I have to manage. I will say that it has SLOWLY improved in the last few months and I am doing my best to be patient with it too.

"Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" is something I read when I can. It helps more than the "Chicken soup for your Soal" LOL
This is great advice exercise has helped me TREMENDOUSLY the last few days - I've still been a bit anxious at times but exercise it nature's remedy for the blues and anxiety IMO.

Congrats on 5 months, that's terrific!
