Hangovers would be a breeze without anxiety.

I agree i am a hot mess if i get a hangover and it last several days

[laurarobinson]

My anxiety hits the roof but I tend to be put of alcohol for a while. Thankfully I don’t have an addictive personality. But still the idea of never drinking again does seem far off

Now I understand when my boyfriend says he "NEEDS" a drink. He has 6 to 8 beers a day on average. He doesn't care.

I always noticed I was more irritable the 3rd day. Now it makes seems why!

And I prayed to God spirit to helped them

Doesn't something similar happen with a ton of drugs even cannabis.

So how do we get rid of the anxiety, so we dont have to take a drink? Which leads to more drinks.

[anthonyfierner]

What supplements if any cure or at least help to get through it?

[Beermanposse]

Just tapper off just a few then eat something

Okay, Doctor Amen; but the real issue is at a point of when my chest swells from the people in my life and i cant see anymore, or direct myself because im overpowered by stress and not even abiding my own wishes and this happens after days or even weeks of sobriety disabling me from disconnecting with the thing all together. Even though i have so much reason to.
