Hey,

I had anxiety before I started drinking. Alcohol helped in the beginning but made it much, much worse in the long run.

It is so hard to see a way out when you are caught in the depression, anxiety, and the addiction. I remember that really well and it was terrifying.

You've done a solid first step by posting what was going on with you--I think Dee's idea of picking the least scary thing may be the way to start.

I tried taking better care of myself even while drinking during my sober times by getting in some therapy, easy walks in nature, and eating good whole foods.

I don't know how you feel, but I had a lot of self-loathing because of my drinking that made me think I didn't deserve at some level to recover.
Looking at that honestly was my first big step to recovery.

You can get better. If I did, you can.
