Now it is a lot of this and prayer:

Alcohol is a huge problem in our world today. They are self medicating themselves. They are ruining their liver and other parts of their body. An occasional alcohol drink is ok but people abuse it.

How do you handle your fear?

It depends on what the fear is....   if it's spiders, I use a club or shovel if outside.   Snakes or something larger or a human I carry a handgun most of the time.    We have neighbors behind us that have two dogs that try to get to me anytime I am outside.   Spiritually I really don't have much of any fear since the Holy Spirit and I dealt with that a long time ago.   And God, well, he came down here and let a group of people beat him half to death and then hang him nailed to a cross to set me free from myself....  He snatched me out of the Devil's hand when I was being really pressed to join him....    I find it hard to fear him since I know he loves me and has protected me for decades.

I really don't have a lot of fear......   if I am afraid of something it really would be myself and if I can keep up my end of following Jesus.

How do I handle fear? Difficult,  I try to rest in God's sovereignty. He is in control of my life and the length of it. The devil and the world marching toward a totalitarian New World Order are liars. I do not struggle with fear of death, only homelessness and losing everything if I refuse the abortion tainted vaccines or that in a moment of weakness I sin and take it to keep worldly possessions. 

Matt 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 30  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Luke 12:25 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25  And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

Some teach that 2 Chronicles 16:12-13 condemns King Asa and he died because he only sought physicians and not the Lord for his ailment. 

12  And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

13  And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

God can heal us, strengthen us, and supply all of our needs. And if He doesn't,  that is ok too, because eternity is forever and our life here is but a "vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14

[Leonardo Von]

The best way to handle fear is looking at Jesus without veer our eyes from Him:

• Heb 12:1,2 -> "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.".
