This, I think, is the hardest part about very early recovery. There is no easy way to do this, but to go through it. It takes faith and it takes courage, but you can do it and it will be worth it.
I think you will find that your depression and anxiety may ease up in recovery. Alcohol is, after all, a depressant. You will be able to find things that bring you peace and joy as you recover.
