Glad you are here.

Not to put more words in Dee's mouth, my question would be the same as his - what is your plan? By that I can say that what I mean is an action plan not based on just learning from past mistakes so to speak (there is actually a part of the BB that addresses just this concept)...So literally, we need just what you said "alternative methods" [than drinking] to deal with anxiety, and life as a whole.

Mine is AA- plus a great psych, plus a strong support system, plus maintenance meds, plus good self-care, plus...people have different programs of choice, but the vast majority of us find a tangible IRL plan (some use just SR, as they can share) to be a critical component of getting- and STAYING- sober and living in recovery.

Best to you. Hope you make this your last start.
