Alcohol makes it soooo much worse & the anxiety medication doesn't work while drinking so it's a double whammy!!! Anyway...just in case your AV tries to convince you that alcohol would help you feel better....it's a huge LIE! The first few weeks of sobriety were really hard....I'm not gonna lie.....but it's so worth it once you get through those first few weeks! Prayers as always!!! <3
100% agree. Those feelings aren't natural, they are a side effect. Even after 2 days sober for me, they almost disappear completely. It's getting through those days without drinking is the hardest. My cycle would continue as I drank to stop the thoughts while the drink caused the thoughts. Endless cycle.
