I'm glad that you decided to post.

I think making a daily recovery plan is a good idea. What will you do at the times of the day you would have been drinking? Can you come up with some ideas that will distract you and help you to get through the cravings?

I also deal with anxiety and depression and used alcohol to self-medicate. My anxiety became so much worse because of my drinking. You may still have anxiety and depression in sobriety, but there are healthy ways to deal with those things.

I'm glad you plan to post often.
