toki, coffee has caff in it and can intensify your anxiety. warm milk, sweets, orange juice, chocolate, and lots of water do help. the sweets fool the mind for alcoholics trying to stay sober since alcohol is primarily sugar. also it is not uncommon to experience anxiety attacks in early sobriety. the brain is screaming for what it has become used to-drugs or alcohol. this is part of the obsession that can torment us. taking a walk, listening to music, etc will help you get your mind off what you are avoiding. i was told singing out loud works cause obsessing and singing can't be done at the same time by the brain. i'd start getting squirrely in the car so i sang. got lots of strange looks but it did work.
