I will put in a plug for Recovery International. It's a peer led group that is free (but a $5 donation at each meeting is encouraged) where you learn some CBT techniques to deal with stressful situations. It's like positive affirmations that you tailor to the specific situations to some degree (that's an over simplification). If there is a meeting near you, I suggest you go to one and see what you think. I just started a month or so back and I am finding it very helpful.
