Don't Talk, Don't Think, Don't Feel. The life lessons learned by children of alcoholics. You don't have to talk at meetings. Participation is not mandatory. Neither is attendance. Sometimes I share a lot, and sometimes I just sit and listen. Nobody seems to mind either way. We all get it.
I hope you're able to make your move soon and with as little stress as possible. Do you practice meditation, yoga, or breathing exercises? Each of those combined with self-coping statements helped me get my anxiety under control. Give it a whirl. It can't hurt.
