This is my main hurdle because I dont go out alot otherwise where I would be drinking. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I struggled with that for a while as well. I initially started drinking regularly because of an issue with social anxiety when I was younger. Then I discovered that alcohol helped me get past that. And when I did conquer my social anxiety issues, I kept drinking for enjoyment and habit. This is years before it became a problem. When I finally did get sober the first time and also no longer had access to xanax, I was very paranoid about going out and doing things sober. So much that my paranoia almost caused the anxiety...self fulfilling prophecy. But it will pass. It's all in our heads and we can conquer it.
