I'll take sex over drugs anyday!
Anxiety comes from your mind. Learn ways to retrain it. Learn new coping strategies. Change your outlook. Try mediation. Allow yourself time off and do something completely fun and selfish. Be willing to let go of the things you can't control.
Don't neglect your body. Eating poorly can make it harder for you to deal with things, and day-to-day frustrations will seem worse then they really are. Get a good night's sleep. Enjoy a back massage or relax in a hot tub.
Find something that is a wonderful escape for you. Some people love adrenaline sports like skydiving. Try auto racing. Some find their highs in running, horseback riding, or bodybuilding. You don't need drugs to feel a rush!
