Hi and welcome,

Anxiety was part of the reason I started drinking in the first place, which led me to a horrible place with drinking, so it's good if you're able to stop.

I find for anxiety, I have to distract myself. I'm a highly tactile person, so I knit, but colouring, or playing my harp all also work. Anything that occupies my mind and keeps my hands moving seems to work.


For the more physical aspects of anxiety, such as muscle stiffness, restlessness etc., I find drinking calming herbal teas helpful.
