It is not suprising that a huge percentage of people who self medicate with alcohol suffer from some sort of mental issue. I used to have a friend who couldn't walk into a grocery store without having a major panic attack, I thought she was crazy........Now I get it!!
It is funny to me as well, I am very ANTI DRUG, the Dr wanted to give me Xanex, I refused as I have heard how addicting it is......But I was OK with using a few cocktails to calm my nerves.......
Hang in there!
