Alcohol And Anxiety

[Chaoticmind]

Lately, any time I drink (these days about once every month/every other month) I get horrible anxiety. I used to be able to down God knows how many shots and drinks and now I can't even have one drink with out anxiety coming over me. I feel like I can't have a social life anymore. I don't know how to handle this

You might have to decide what you want more-----no alcohol related anxiety or socializing with alcohol.

I get it-----we live in a liquor-loving world where you're "not cool" if you don't imbibe. But, after awhile you realize that no alcohol is infinitely better than alcohol. Maybe your social life changes? Maybe you get new friends? It can all be par for the course.

As Eve said, I know how it's today common to have fun only with alcohol, but there are other ways. :hug:s
