Congratulations on 7 months of recovery!

My anxiety and depression were with me long, long before I began drinking. I had to get the depression treated properly with medication before I was able to begin recovery. I still struggle with anxiety but have found coping skills such as Scott mentioned and it's usually manageable. The medication for depression has levelled the playing field for me so I have a fighting chance each day. I have to work on the anxiety each day and on staying positive each day in order to support my recovery.

I hope you find something that works for you.
