As I set at work my anxiety growing, all I can think of is going home to drink and numb this out.

Have you ever read this?
I have to thank Eric for this idea:
Anxiety is real. It’s part of a system of emotions. Like our natural body systems, balance is needed, and some need to be strengthened. There is a path through the anxiety.
Drinking won’t help, you already know that, but what will help is to keep connecting, keep reaching out. Maybe visit a meeting after work (either in person or online; to find online ones search “AA online meeting” or “SMART Recovery online meeting”, or whichever type of meeting you want to attend, and you’ll find links). Hang out here on Talking Sober. Don’t be alone.
There is no mandatory reason to drink, no matter how you feel. This is hard to understand in the early days but it is important. There is never a time, there is never a feeling where you have to drink, no matter what.
