Hi BlackHawk
Yes.
I suffered with horrible anxiety for years.
It seemed to start shortly after my drinking became off the chart.
But I did some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which really helped with my anxiety. It isn't an issue for me anymore.
Also, it's proven to be very effective treatment for alcohol/drug abuse too.
I hope everything goes well for you.
Stick around and post some more.

Blackhawk your very young. If you're an alcoholic then quit now. If you don't you're going to live a life of pure misery. Health problems, relationship problems. Trouble with the law. Financial issues. Possibly homeless and eventually death from alcoholism. Avoiding all this should be motivation enough to stop now. If you're lucky enough to be here sober 30 years from now you will give the same advice. I wish you well. Please stop drinking. Life is better without alcohol. Trust me.

Truth!
