Why does drinking seem to work so much better for me?? Logically, I know that is AV talking, but good grief...I hate feeling like this.
I was taking Xanax for anxiety when I was drinking, I used to have such bad attacks so often. I never thought it would go away and drinking always worked for the immediate time, of course once I sobered up the anxiety always got worse.
I am just starting to comprehend how much I missed going on around me due to constantly self medicating. It has been 8 months now and the anxiety is all but a memory, I still get my moments but nothing like I used too. Stay strong and you can enjoy life for what it is and stop drinking it away.
Oh I haven't needed a Xanax in over 6 months.
