How did I deal with it? I hit the drink for 3 months. Bad idea, I could actually feel physical internal pain & was definitely doing damage by drinking so much.

But I didn't have anything else going on, no job or hobbies. You seem to have a lot of that going on which is good for you.

Keep occupied. Drink little. And you should stay away from drugs of any kind.
