Thanks for sharing, Lonewolf.
Self-medicating for anxiety with alcohol was
exactly what I did. When the meds that I was taking didn't seem to completely manage it, I drank heavier to 'supplement'. There was even a point where I thought I would end up in a 'Leaving Las Vegas' situation...where I would try to keep alcohol in my system constantly. For me the answer was rehab, a med change and recovery group involvement. For you it may be different based upon where you are. I know that for me the endgame of trying to use booze to numb the pain/fear etc. was the end of my 'game'....I hope you're able to address both. There are avenues of support and resolution for ya
Best,
