Glad to have you back on PC.

First thing is start cutting back on alcohol if possible or join 12 step program like AA. That is hurting your body and making life difficult.

Have anxiety try this simple exercise anyone can do. Inhale naturally and internally count 1 Exhale naturally and internally count 2 continue up to 10 and start again at 1.

It is difficult to focus on anxiety or worries if you focus on counting and breath.
