As for alcohol, rjlockhart37, I actually shun it like the plague when I have anxiety. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a drink or two a night when I go through remissions and completely calm (I actually tend to be a very calm and even keel person when I'm not experiencing panic, which is a little odd and possibly the reason I was not diagnosed with anxiety disorder for a long time. Doctors have told me I strike them as a very calm, confident person).
But when I'm anxious, I keep my distance from alcohol, simply because it makes me feel better. The idea of my brain associating alcohol with treatment rather than simple entertainment is honestly VERY SCARY. With my condition I don't need alcohol dependence on top of it. So I tiptoe around my anxiety with alcohol.
I only let myself have a drink when I'm already completely calm.
