Honestly, for my anxiety i would make myself sit down and just be still. I know it sounds silly, but it was away for me to sit with my anxious thoughts and let myself process them, and my emotions that came with it. I knew that they would soon pass and i would feel better. I also started writing how i was feeling. It helped release those thoughts from my mind and not hold onto them.
I drank lots of water and maintained good hygiene to help myself feel better. Also, eating well. Fruits and veggies, smoothies. Get outside and go for a walk. Admire the beautiful world around and remind myself that everyday is worth living and you never know what tomorrow could bring.

Raging alcoholics here.
I went cold turkey since June 30 of this year. The first week was bad. I had the trembles and shakes from dawn until dusk.
The nightmares were the “fun” part. Monsters would chase me and I would literally wake myself up swinging. I have a small bed, so I fell out of bed every night.
I go to the gym daily and I bike every day to keep my stress and anxiety levels at a low. And if you cannot afford the gym, I journal daily here on the app. Journaling helps with my thoughts.

February 19th of last year is the date I against my will started this sobriety journey.Here it is 17months later as good as life is anxiety pulls up like a hellcat redeye.My anxiety comes from wanting what I want when I want it(im super spoiled these days)and when things dont happen in the time frame I feel they should I turn into a complete emotional,mental wreck;a big baby(minus the diaper)…
This forum does help me calm my nerves redirect my thoughts.So does music mixed in with a little aroma therapy and add 2 hands kneading out all the tension knots(4 if im really going througn it).Reflexology…believe it or not 
Yoga and meditation(try it and you will see yyy the 2 are in the same category.Yoga is nothing what i expected.Mind,body,and spirirt).Lastly,i woulldnt suggest this but i do have to be completely honest if it werent for coffee, cigarettes,and me telling everyone about what grinds my gears,ruffles my feathers or really chaps my hide I dont think I would be sober as long as I have and all i really have is just today so that should tell you something.(No I did not relapse.)
