Anxiety is my biggest issue. I am still drinking just to deal with it. I have been planning to do medical detox but I keep having to put it off because of business. I started the day in Toronto having a couple of scotches to get through my meetings during the day. By 4 pm I was crawling out of my skin.
A couple of scotches before the airport, a couple on the plane. And so it goes.
I need time to heal. I need time to weather the anxiety, but right now, alcohol is all I can do to keep it together until I can take the wrk for detox.
So yeah, I think anxiety is the number one reason people relapse.
