Alcohol anxiety

[mufc1982]

United won the cup yesterday and the inevitable happened i got absoloutely blind drunk.when im drunk it gives me the courage to socialize but i allways take it too far and end up a blubbering mess.i remember someone trying to start a fight with me and i backed out and now i feel a pussy.ive been lied here panicing again all day.ive done well with drinking lately but now ive pushed myself over the edge again and i need to be back to normality

It is frightening when you drink to the point that you're not fully in control, and can't entirely recall what happened the next day.
Add to this the fact that alcohol is a depressant and will make you feel depressed once you come down from the "high"... and you're bound to feel crappy the next day.

I'm sorry you're feeling bad; the only consolation I have to offer is that the people around you were probably drinking too, and acting foolish, and they probably weren't paying that much attention to how you acted. They probably don't even remember it. it is almost certainly not as bad as it seems in your mind.
Time will heal this bad feeling. But try to remember it the next time the opportunity to drink arises (it is never "inevitable", by the way).
Have one drink, or better yet, just drink some tea or a soda.
If you need "courage" to socialize at such a gathering, then remember that other people around you are drunk. And you're sober. That should give you the courage to talk to them. Drunk people will talk to anyone who will listen to them. And they probably won't remember what they said or did the following day. It doesn't take much courage to socialize with them, really.

Best wishes.

Add to this someone who has an acquired brain injury and is on SSRIs. Based on the OPs history of alcohol abuse, AA and therapy are the most prudent way to proceed. Again, based on the OPs post history, nothing said here will break the self destructive cycle.
