Alcohol anxiety

[mufc1982]

ive got the dreads again i feel like im losing my mind!cant remember much about last night i just know what i turn into when im drunk!every time i get like that i say never again but i never stick to it and forget how bad it makes me feel for days after.i have to drink before i even go to the pub to calm the anxiety but i had a brain injury and i dont have the tolerance i used to.im worrying about every little thing and constantly playing things out in my head im filling in the gaps with paranoid thoughts.i hate when people complain aboutgetting headache i wish thats the only thing i got!

If I were you I'd stick to "never again".

I couldn't face those hangovers anymore so stopped years ago.

There becomes a tipping point when you fear it more than you want to do it.

I also worked out I didn't really want the alcohol "high" anyway. If I could pick a mood improvement it wouldn't be what alcohol made me feel. Alcohol is just freely available. Try to improve your baseline as opposed to taking anything that sends you up. What goes up must come down.

Anxiety and alcohol make for strange bedfellows.... this is just another post that backs my thoughts on the subject.
