hey guys! I’m new here I’ve been struggling with severe anxiety after using substances, I’ve been clean for a month now but a few days ago I started drinking also. But it has become a big problem now in my life, my head feels heavy, I get very anxious when I’m in public and sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy, it’s very hard to sleep at night now, anyways thanks for reading: I hope to find peace in my heart and mind now.

When I was actively drinking, I was miserable. It affected my health, home, job, socialization Everything. I also have a depression and anxiety disorder. But I have to treat both. If I don’t treat my drinking, I can’t treat my mental illness. And vice versa. I attend AA for my alcoholism and it works a day at a time.

Is your question directed to me? If so, I’m doing well, thank you. Not drinking today and that’s the goal. Spent some meditation time early this morning. Then made my Zoom Home Group AA meeting. Talked to someone I sponsor. So I think I’m on the right track.
