dealing with anxiety
ndm, I've dealt with anxiety as long as I can remember. It led to my drinking initially, and untimately to my alcoholism. At it's worst, anxiety/panic led to agaoraphobia. I was housebound for a long time, until I finally sought medical help. For me, therapy, medication, practicing relaxation techniques; together with regular exercise and sleep have all been key to my recovery. And of course staying sober. I still strugge to keep all of these pieces in place on a daily basis, but I have hope now, where I once had none. Thanks
