Done…we suffer from hundreds of forms of fear. One thing that helped me was to learn as many different forms of fear as I could. Disbelief, anxiety, fear of failure, fear of what people are thinking…..almost all of which were not really happening and I created them in my mind. I will pray for you as soon as I submit this post. We create a lot of things in our head because our perception and perspectives are messed up, try not to listen (which is much harder said then done) but just try. 
Jason thank you so much for your reply back to me . I will practice the mind control tactics . Tami God Bless You
Praying for you

Best thing that helped me was understanding the story of Job - the guy operated in fear, and that alone allowed him to be attacked. So for me, it’s just knowing that I’m afraid of something that forces me to confront it & will power my way through it. Fear is just thinking about what might happen/become - only thing certain about the future is uncertainty. Can’t control it, but we can control what we go out and do today to shape our future for tomorrow. Can’t win tomorrow’s baseball game with yesterday’s home run - gotta get out there everyday and pray and conquer your fears until your fears are afraid of the God who covers you. Addiction is a thing that, like fear, only has power so long as we give it power. Like an untrained dog, when I first went without alcohol, and I had all these things going on underneath the surface, and I had to learn to express them in healthy and sustainable ways: I exercise to lessen my anxiety, eat healthy/hydrate to fix up my anxiety, change my mind and mature because of prayer, and God & everyone else around me deserve me at my best so that I can do good by all of them. Prayers outbound to you.

All the prayer in the world is useless without real, in person support. Please get a sober network in place, and beat this.
Good luck.
