I am motivated to not drink but w/o anything in my system I am flying blind as it were.
I know the anxiety will wane over time and I’m doing my best to deal with what’s directly in front of me (money problems being the current woe), but WOWZA I am feeling overwhelmed at the moment.
Stay strong! One day at a time. Go to meetings and be with people who have been down your path. You got this!
Money problems are stressful. Have you tried making a budget and planning to get a handle on the beast?
Yeah. Believe it or not I have 
Problem is I have a renter who is not paying and it’s putting a big squeeze on things.
I know this isn’t the finance forum but I think a lot of people are having money problems around the world. I certainly can’t control world economies but it’s a big stressor atm.
God has…and continues…to bless me. Prob shaking His head at my worry, but I used to drink or use something to take my mind off and now w/o those my mind is spinning like a hamster on crack.
I used to rely heavily on alcohol or Xanax when the anxiety hit hard or even if I just had hang-xiety. I have been learning to meditate now instead. It may come off as silly but breathing practices and meditation can really calm my anxiety when everything feels hopeless. Lots of free apps like Insight timer and YouTube meditations. Hope you find relief!
