Struggling with relapse every few days. Seems like the 3-4 day mark comes and i cave to social pressures or my own anoxety and have a drink, which could turn into excess

Hello Ben I can empathize, I struggle with anxiety and people pleasing. It was suggested to change, people places and playthings. Are the people that i am hanging out with really my friend? Do they want me to die? To drink is to die.
The man i work with in recovery was eager for me to hit meetings and find a new group of friends. People that would check in me to find out how I am. People that I wasn't afraid of saying i feel anxious, scared, and/or sad and told me what they did to get past that hurdle. People that didn't want me to die by picking up that first drink.
My hope, as I've said in other posts if that you've hit a bottom where you will have the gift of desperation and try something new and courageous.

I have found that my own anxiety stems from thinking too much or too far out into the "future". For me, the solution was to "Let go and let God."
You can do it man, if I did it... ANYONE can.b
