Thanks! I hope so. I think the combo of caffeine and alcohol have been a bit rough but honestly I am tired of the caffeine causing increased anxiety and then drinking alcohol to relieve this anxiety merry-go-round.
I have been told to cut out caffeine for a long time and just couldn't do it. Now I am because I just want to be free of all drugs. That is why I don't eat sugar either--haven't for years now because it increased my anxiety.
I have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and have taken zoloft for it for years. Guess what I have found out the hard way? zoloft and alcohol DO NOT mix!
I have tried AA before and I am considering going again. I just got bothered a bit by the religiosity aspect of it. I know I should let this go but it really is hard for me. I have an overly analytical mind and it is hard to just throw science out the wind and accept that a higher power will cure me. I am going to work much harder on this though. Any advice?
