Julie,
I’m very glad to see you taking steps to sort things out. It seems to me that when the anxiety is in check, you do not have the same tendency to drink. That is also the case for me. And while getting anxiety under control is not easy, there are lots of things that help. Seeing your doc(s) is a good start. Any hobbies other than dressing funky and taking peoples money? I find that I need something to occupy the time when I would normally want to drink. And not only do you kill the time, but depending on your selection of hobby you can do things which make you feel better about yourself as well. Just a thought.
You asked before if I went to AA. No I don’t. The people I have made a commitment to are people such as yourself. Simple as that. I have another anxiety sufferer I correspond with who is pregnant and I jokingly promised that I would not drink since she can’t. Only it was not totally a joke for me.
Anyway, keep in touch and let me know how things go with the docs.Greg
