Hi All;

I have been drinking for more than 20 years now. I have been suffering from chronic Panic Disorder , OCD and eating disorder most of my life. I drink 3 to 4 beers every evening and my drinking can get out of hand during the social occasions.

Eating disorder is the main cause for my drinking. I can only eat solid food right after I wake up and after drinking couple of beers. I had all the physical tests and all came up normal. I have been to numerous psychiatrists and received all kinds of therapy but tehy were not helpfull at all. I was diagnosed as suffering from psychosomatic disorder which I can not overcome with Obsessive thoughts of choking while eating. Alcohol relaxes me. I only drink in the evenings 3 to 4 beers, never during the day. But I am sick of drinking and want to give up this habir. I once tried and stpooed fro three years but I was hospitalized for malnourishment I was dying because I couldn't eat anything but fluids and soft food.

I don't know what to do? Maybe this froum will strnghten my decision on giving up altogether on drinking and beating my obsessive thoughts.

I think you are on the right track.

I drank to deal with depression/anxiety and found of course, that drinking ended up making things worse. But, I did have to get the depression treated before I was able to stop drinking.

I hope you can find the answers you are looking for here at SR. You will surely find lots of support and information.
