What gets you out of anxiety? (besides meds)

I used to drink to deal with anxiety,

now I drink hot water flavored with stevia,

sometimes hot tea but lately just hot water,
holding on to the cup as a buffer between people.
jeff is going to a big gathering tomorrow with

a friend of his. I do not want to go, lots of food and drinking.
I don't want to be tempted food wise. It is a christmas party and I won't know any one. So I am not going. Glad that hubby is going with his friend. He wanted to go but would not go alone.
So that is how I am dealing with my anxiety.
