I know how frustrating it is to still have hightened anxiety when you feel like you are doing everything right. I didn't drink as much, I took my meds, I went to therapy, I did meditation 4 times a week and I walked everywhere. I felt like I was doing everything, yet I still felt anxious. It can be hard to sometime see how much you have improved because you still have some lingering anxiety. After 4 months in therapy my mental health nurse actually disscussed how I was when I first came in and talked about how I had improved. Sometimes looking back and seeing how far you have come can help make you feel better and keep you motivated to stay on the straight and narrow.
I should also suggest eating healthy and trying to exercise 30 mins a day. Studies show that huff and puff exercise helps reduce anxiety. Maybe try doing some planned exercise that increases your heart rate may help. I find going for a jog outside helps. I get fresh air and exercise and my mind is so focused on the environment that my anxiety is reduced.
I also try distraction techniques. I try read a book, have friends over for a cooked dinner, go for a ride, watch a movie etc. It helps me not go down the pit of self pitty and anxiety.
I know this is really general and I know you may also do this, but this is what I find helps with me.
