It certainly is a tricky one to manage, ive suffered with anxiety all of my adult life, drink was my solution until it got hold of me and messed me up. Now I really have to work my recovery when I feel anxiety coming on, breathing exercises is fabby, also meditation helps me lots too, there is loads of guided mediations on you tube which may help you.

Anxiety normally comes from fear, the challenge in recovery is to sit with it, question it and work out what the root cause is. Talking therapy is good for this, but also writing it all down. Im sure there is loads of worksheets and resources online which can help you figure stuff out.

If its also anxiety about whats to come, really try and keep yourself in the moment too, in the day and not project too far ahead into the future, that definately helps me too.

You are doing really well x You are safe and you are loved x This too shall pass x

Much love x
