Hey, InnerChild, just wanted to wave "hi" and say I have PTSD too.
I was reading your posts and thought to myself, it does sound like self-medication for anxiety.
Booze really scares me. I grew up in an alcoholic home. I saw people who started out only having a few drinks every day, go to passing out drunk every day over time.
First the man takes a drink. Then the drink takes a drink. Then the drink takes the man.
I wish you the best of luck, and a life filled with peace instead of anxiety.

I know the feeling, i was at a 4th of july family gathering where i would normaly be drinking just enough to feel cleaver, everyone was laughing and having fun (but not drinkng) and every time i'd say somthing i'd regret it and feel like a square block tryng to fit in a round hole. it really made me feel upset.
When i first started drinkng it just seemed like my thoughts were better sorted and now there scrambled, i still have lots of work to do.
Anyway I didnt see your post but your in the right place for support.
I really hope things get better for you... let us know how things are going.

Be patient. Not everyone viewing replies, you can't take it personally. One way to ensure some replies is to post a specific question about your situation or a general question about recovery or addiction. But everyone here wants you to get better.
