Aciel,
If you are only 17 and know that you are dealing with anxiety issues and alcohol abuse issues, dig your heels in and deal with it now. It can ruin your life. I don't remember any anxiety issues until I was a junior in college ...then out of the blue...I started having panic attacks while doing speeches or even just sitting in a class room. Without knowing what to do, I ran and started avoiding socail situations when I could. As my professional career kicked in the anxiety issues got worse,I started using alcohol to self medicate, then depression hit in my 30's. I really had no clue what was happening to me.
I have worked in post secondary education for years and saw the kids that were abusing alcohol and pot and other drugs daily. A little fun can all of a sudden become the monkey on your back.Find the best help that you can and take it. College and life thereafter can be a great experiance or it can be hell. Make it a wonderful experiance. God Bless, good luck.
