You seem very intuitive and know there is an underlying root. I do agree with giving yourself time to level out and see how you think and feel. You can then take many different approaches to find what is best suited for you.
A lot of us here have anxiety, depression, ADD and other coexisting scenarios that are exacerbated by using alcohol. Some of us use medications and some of us don't. Personally, I take the route of finding "tools" and natural remedies to help me through anxiety episodes.
Have a wonderful sober New Years Eve party!
