Hi everyone. New to this site.

I’m a binge drinker and often drink to alleviate anxiety. Your posts have given me food for thought as I have had an anxiety disorder for many years but I don’t remember it having such a negative impact on my life as the past 5 to 10 years…….coincidently the same time as my alcohol consumption became a problem!

Also, interesting comments about coffee. My consumption has also increased over the past 5 to 10 years! Hard to know what exacerbates what…..is it the anxiety that increases my risk of drinking or does the drinking lead to increased anxiety???

Further information to encourage me to stop drinking!!
