It will get better ACH. Welcome to a supportive and encouraging place. I think being here with us will help lessen your anxiety. You're among people who truly understand what you're going through and how hard it is to resist temptation.
The thing is - a drink isn't going to make the stress go away. That's a lie we've always told ourselves. It only seems like an answer - to get numb for a bit - but our problems remain unsolved, and then we have hangovers and remorse to deal with. I got sober when I finally really got it that drinking made nothing any better, happier or easier.
You can do this - we're with you ACH!
