I do not know of any substitute for alcohol. However one for stress and anxiety, there is 'Valerian' herb,which comes in a capsule or liquid form. Changing certain life style behaviors would help too. Also Tea Tree oils are a good alternative to some things too.beer

Sobriety,, dealing with life. Anything you do to artificially relieve stress will come back to haunt you. "Instant relief" from stress, is something alcoholics want.

As has been stated above, if you can get to the state where your happy with yourself and "high on life" just being happy, you wouldn't want a temporary high.

I would love to be this happy! I am trying to learn to be happy though!laugh
