Sometimes I'll have a drink when my anxiety gets bad but I wouldn't recommend it doing it every time you're anxiety flares up. That can lead to alcohol dependency.

@SalineTurnip I know, it’s a vicious cycle but hey.. baby steps right?! I used to do it a lot more so I am proud of myself 🤗
@Jgrazia89 Good for you! I'm proud of you too. Self control can be really hard.

@mashed_potato honestly 😂😂
@Maddie6 hopefully it won’t last forever? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m here if you ever need to talk 🙌
I wouldn't call is self medication because it isn't healthy 😅 but I still do it. Sometimes I find it hard to get over my anxiety unless I drink. Or if I know im going to be nervous going somewhere I take a shot or two beforehand. I do struggle with alcohol abuse so these aren't healthy habits for me, used in moderation it should be fine, but if you always drink to dull anxiety then that is a new problem... Trying to find better replacements currently, ive been taking CBD gummies and they help somewhat, havent used them long but they do help.
@mashed_potato yes I struggle with alcohol abuse as well.. I think it’s genetic. I have tried those gummies but didn’t really notice anything (grr)! What dosage do you use? Thanks!
