You're addicted.

Your body/mind knows if you/it gets to a certain point of anxiety you'll soothe it with alcohol so it tries to get to that point as often as it can.

It's a self fulfilling circle that suits your addictive self very well.

To break this cycle you're going you're have to do a couple of things:
  • don't drink - no matter what
  • put up with some discomfort and displeasure for a while
  • and get more help
- maybe you need more than your current dr on the case here, for example snowedunder?

It sounds plausible surely it would've fixed itself after months of sobriety? People always tell me to wait longer and longer as if they're trying to trick me into being anxious forever.
