I have anxiety.
I think it is just one of those things I have to accept and work on. Its part of me, it is who I am.
I know that drink makes it worse, a lot worse.
For years I thought it was a cure for anxiety.
Now I know better.
I have developed coping mechanisms which alleviate it to an extent.
I think that once I accepted it was part of me, then it made things a bit easier.
I would rather have the anxiety I have now than the anxiety I had when I was drinking. That was horrific. I never you if it was real or imagined or just down to the drink.
At least now I know how the natural, unalcoholised me is!
Does that help in any way?
