There are many healthy ways to reduce anxiety; however, you have to implement them into your lifestyle, so it does take some work and determination. But the rewards are well worth it IMO.

Fat-free cheese just makes me want the real deal. Fortunately, I can moderate when it comes to cheese.

No moderating cheese for me. Lol

heres a lil something that happened when i wanted to get sober:
i went to aa. i was very fortunate the meetings i went to had clients from detox attending so it was quite a few what we used to be like, what happened, and what we're like now meetings. listening to the stories of those that had been sober for some time i was a wee bit apprehensive of talking about my drinking. i was hearing some extreme alcohol consumption mixed in with all kinds of other drugs and people that lived under bridges, spent time in mental hospitals, turned to prostitution for the money, had their loved ones walk away, businesses and careers destroyed........ all kinds of experiences much worse than mine and amounts of alcohol consumed much greater than me.
then something happened and i started hearing the mental and emotional state of those people. i heard the insecurities, fear, selfishness, self pity,anger,dishonesty.........
i heard me in those people.
i just had to listen differently.
