Hi Ziggy, I too was using drinking to deal with my social anxiety. It seemed like it would give me the extra confidence that I needed. But like I said earlier the anxiety would come back with a vengeance!! Someone that I trust a lot told me that it was okay to be shy because that is who you are. I guess I never look at it like that. This same person also said that we are thinking that everyone is noticing our discomfort when they really aren't. Honestly dealing with social issues for me is a daily struggle. I have come to the conclusion that its better to deal with them sober and scared then drunk and scared if that makes sense!! I wish you the best and will watch for your post!! Lind
