Turning to alcohol

Try using relaxation techniques or exercises.  It can be anything from going for a walk, working out, yoga or deep breathing.  Reaching for alcohol can decrease your chances for progression, so choose something that will relax you.  Don't forget to try the exposure therapy!

I have to be really careful now because its getting to the point where anytime I feel anxiety creeping up I reach for a can of beer, I can see how someone could easily turn into an alcoholic doing this especially cuz when the drink leaves your body it gives even more anxiety. I'm kinda afraid of taking tablets, i always think I'm going to have a bad reaction to them or something!! Has anyone else got into that habit and how did you stop??
