Hi teatreeoil. Have you ever created a recovery plan? Essentially its a list of all the things you'll do to maintain your sobriety. For example,

1. Never pick up a drink again. EVER
2. Exercise (yoga, hiking, Pilates, walking, weights.....)
3. Eat healthy meals
4. Seek support (AA, SR, therapy, etc).
5. New activities: writing, photography, meditation, volunteering, etc.
6. Doctor (sounds like you're covered here)
7. How to handle social situations? How to refuse drinks? Creating exit plans?
8. Learn more about what triggers drinking.
9. Learn more about the underlying causes of anxiety and depression.

Etc, etc, etc,

The point is, your list can be as long or as short as you need. But it needs to address your behaviors and how they will keep you on track for recovery.
