I dont have any other tools in my box to deal with these emotions.
Please remember that drinking was never ever an effective tool for dealing with stress. Drinking inevitably exacerbates stress. That quote is AV.

You do NOT need to develop better coping skills to stop drinking. You need to develop better coping skills to lead a happier life, maybe, but it is in no way tied to drinking. Again...AV

These emotions can sometimes overwhelm us and make us feel like we will surely die from the stress. You won't. You will get through this. and you will be stronger for it.
