Alcohol and Anxiety - The Devastating Combination
It is important to make every effort to save anyone you love from the deadly combination of alcohol and anxiety.
Even if the combination doesn't literally kill those who are struggling with it-it does have the ability to destroy their lives and the lives of those who love them.
Too many people who suffer with anxiety seek treatment with a bottle of booze.
This quickie fix is no real or lasting cure and often only serves to make the problems you face with anxiety even worse.
There is actually a great deal of credible debate as to whether or not alcohol may actually cause many of the anxiety disorders rather than merely serving to make them worse instead of lowering these problems or reducing the severity of anxiety attacks.
Recent studies have shown that nearly 20% of people who suffer from different mood disorders also struggle with substance abuse in one form or another.
When you think about it, these numbers are alarming.
It is extremely important to guard against the possibility of mixing alcohol and anxiety because any way you look at it, they are a recipe for far more problems than they are for solutions.
If you feel that may have a problem it is time to get help.
Don't delay because overcoming this devastating combination could save your family or your life.
One truth that is often difficult to face is that the combination of alcohol and anxiety often is a direct detour on the road to suicide.
If you notice that someone you love is taking a ride on this deadly roller coaster the time to intervene is now.
You do not need to wait until the problem seems insurmountable to make efforts to solve the problem.
It is difficult to interfere in this manner-especially with those we love.
However, failing to do so can have deadly consequences that are even more difficult to live with.
It has long been a myth, perpetuated in film, that drinking a glass of wine or a stiff shot of hard liquor will work to calm frayed nerves and relieve anxiety.
While that may be true to some degree or when anxiety is something you deal with on a rare occasion.
The problem arises when anxiety is something you experience regularly or when one drink or two drinks isn't enough to take the edge off.
When you are taking a drink in order to face the day rather than to help settle your nerves after a particularly difficult day it is a problem.
The bottom line is that avoiding mixing alcohol and anxiety altogether is the best course of action in order to avoid potential problems in the future.
If you are struggling with anxiety you should avoid alcohol as if your life depended upon it because maybe it does.
Alcohol and anxiety simply do not mix.
