[nicole123x]

I used to enjoy having a drink now and again, but ever since my anxiety I daren't drink and let my hair down is this normal!?

I feel the same way. I love wine, but I get very anxious after one glass.

Having a few beers is the only thing I've found that actually stops my anxiety. Although, if I have a few too many then it's worse the next day.

I'm me again after 6 pints!

Its really nice to be wobbling all over the joint & not give a f**** about anxiety & symptoms.

Alcohol... a few beers messes me up for months!!! I will never drink again.... I am still messed up and twitching after the last time about a month ago.. it gradually gets better but never again.. Next time I feel anxiety free again (it may take months now) When I am drunk I dont feel so bad tho.......... but I will refrain from drinking even tho my life used to consist of drinking and partying..... its rly fucked up.... all my friend go out drinking and I just stay home and masturbate. I have been drinking since I was 12 years old and now my anxiety wont let me drink at all any more... this is like taking away my entire social life.

I will have to do some soul searching and figure out how life without alcohol is possible, especially in this place (eastern europe).

I'll have another. :)
If I keep it to 3 or 4 beers I have no issues. If I get a good beer buzz the next day I will be jumpy but that fades and is a part of the low gaba from alcohol. Moderate until your feeling better. Alankay

You guys are making me thirsty!

I felt shit all day, had 3 beers & now I feel fine. It works every time.
I know self medicating with alcohol is not the ideal thing to do, but it's so delicious & it works for me. Haha.

As temperance said, I find drinking a few makes me alot calmer and more sociable :) but I get extreme hangovers now :/

Oh dear, even after just a few? :(
Hanover attacks are the absolute worst. I think there's something out that you take before you have a drink that's meant to stop hangovers! Let's find it!
