I used drink/drugs/smoking as a release for my anxiety for a long time before I even realised I was doing it.
Much healthier to use the likes of self-help, therapy & meds to learn to cope without these crutches.
What happened to you trying meds? I thought you had a follow up appointment or something?

yes i feel like i use things to cope with my anxiety. drinking, smoking. even pills. im on haldol, xanax and ambien now so i am on meds. the only next appt i have is with a peer support specialist. they cant do much but share their experiences. some of them dont even have a bachelors degree. i dont see my therapist til the 21st.
