Ive been drinking pretty heavily for the past 3 years. Alot of my homies turn into fools when they are drunk and i dont really get like that, people always say im a pretty relaxed dude, like i even seem stoned all the time (when im sober), but the truth is im always pretty anxious or on edge unless im drunk. Anxiety seems to be worse the next day after drinking. I dont like talking to people or having people talk to me, unless i know them pretty well. For those of you who stopped drinking, do you get better in social situations being sober? My old man , (who is a recovering alcoholic and has been sober for 25 years said drinking that much makes your nerves shot, and im thinking thats what causes the anxiety to be worse. Can anybody shed some light/experiences with that?
