The booze caused it and cured it.
Unfortunately, my anxiety still has not fully gone away after nearly 5 years without being drunk.
The only way out, without a Dr., was to suffer.
My alky buddy told me that he got anxiety meds from the Dr., then drank while on them.
This took him into another depth of hell on earth.
The only way out for me was time and suffering.
The suffering made me never want to drink again or face that hell.
What I experienced was entry level clinical insanity.
Don't need that.
I will never drink again.
Thanks.
