I developed SA during puberty, at the same time doing conventional and experimental drugs, which masked my anxiety a couple of years but at the same time set me back as many (or more). Only when i stopped using drugs because they didnt work anymore i discovered the joys of alcohol, with which i hadnt bothered cause everybody uses that, right?
Not a very sophisticated drug, but great fun.
The thing is, drinking a glass just wont cut it (for me), i need to get drunk to have any anti-SA effects - if i drink a glass at, for instance a family-get-together, and then sober up and later get another glass and sober up, that gives me 100% chance to freak out.
So my advice is, at family meetings = hit the bottle as hard as u can :twisted:
