I just want to say THANK YOU so much for letting me know that I'm not alone and for not judging me. I posted this same message on another major board and got a lot of support as well so it looks like a lot of people turn to the bottle in order to calm their nerves. anyway, thank you all so much! . There is a brand new FDA-approved med on the market called "Campral". It is the first new drug to treat alcoholism in a decade and it gets to the biological root of the problem, eliminates withdawl, cravins, anxiety and a host of other stuff associate with dependancy. I am really excited about trying it!.

PS: I just wanted to ad-lib something here. An hour ago I was racked with anxiety and now, with only one gin and tonic in me, I feel NORMAL and have been buzzing around getting all kinds of things done around the house, etc. I'm not using this as an excuse or saying that people with anxiety should drink. I just know it works for me - as long as I drink in MODERATION.

Thank's again!!!
