Anxiety and Alcohol
Hello,
I have been battling a lot of anxiety issues over the last few years. Yesterday was the Super Bowl and am a Pats fan and decided eh why not have a drink that drink turned into 6 and although I wasn't overly intoxicated I did notice my response. I have been dealing w fear of alcoholism for year especially after nights of drinking and having health anxiety attacks that my hang over is a strok or cancer. I feel I need help but have to much pride to admit it at this point and keep falling into a continuous circle I don't drink often(never have more than 14a week) but as a 32 yr old man w 2 children and anxiety I need to find a way to ensure it's not a problem bc anxiety causes me to drink and drinking causes more anxiety and problems. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated
All the Best

How Our Helpline Works
For those seeking addiction treatment for themselves or a loved one, the Recovery.org helpline is a private and convenient solution.
Calls to any general helpline (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) for your visit will be answered by American Addiction Centers (AAC).
We are standing by 24/7 to discuss your treatment options. Our representatives work solely for AAC and will discuss whether an AAC facility may be an option for you.
Our helpline is offered at no cost to you and with no obligation to enter into treatment. Neither Recovery.org nor AAC receives any commission or other fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a visitor may ultimately choose.
For more information on AAC’s commitment to ethical marketing and treatment practices, or to learn more about how to select a treatment provider, visit our About AAC page.
If you wish to explore additional treatment options or connect with a specific rehab center, visit our homepage to browse our directory listings, or SAMHSA’s treatment services locator.
