Work with doctors: Work with your doctors to find safe ways to reduce your anxiety. Non-medical psychotherapeutic techniques are often useful, but they take practice over time. Benzodiazepines increase the risk of relapse into alcohol dependence. Be sure to work with a 12 step program to maintain your sobriety. Have a sponsor. When you are ready, sponsor others.

Anxiety & recovery: Your question was cut off at the end, so i can't see what it is. But it does sound like you've tried many medicines to deal with your anxiety & are frustrated. I hope you're working with a psychiatrist who knows you well, who works with you on meds, and who can also help you access non-pharmaceutical therapies where you can learn new ways of coping. 12 step groups help also. Peace on the journey.
