I didn’t think that I had a drinking problem since I didn’t drink all day long but when it seemed like I couldn’t have fun or be comfortable in conversations with friends without drinking I started to get concerned. Drinking helps my anxiety go down and my anger go down sometimes. It helps take the pain away for a little bit until I drink too much and it all comes out.

Hi Lake! I hope you are doing well! Welcome! I am sorry to hear that you are struggling a little bit with drinking. Have you talked to a doctor about this? I know alcohol can sometimes make us feel better in the short-term, but it doesn't help with our struggles in the long-term. It can be hard to break the habit, but you are not alone! Here are a few great resources you could take a look at:

I hope these help! Remember, you are never alone and you will get through this!
