I have chronic anxiety. Alcohol just amplifies that anxiety the next day.
Its kind of a merry go round around here.
Im looking forward to leveling off and addressing the anxious issues. More tools. More self care. I think I can really move mountains once I am over that bump in the road.
I coped today by paying attention to how I felt and making sure I had a plan when I got home.
Walk in door. Make tea. take bath. Eat dinner. Very basic stuff but the "basics" are far removed from my life when I am drinking.
One small step at a time. Those steps are essential though.
