I feel like quitting school. I used to not drink so much. But I hate the anxiety that builds up inside me when I'm around people and when I have to focus on school. Its gotten so bad. All I want is to feel calm. I feel like I've been driving myself crazy.

It sounds like you self medicate when you're anxious. Do you take any anti anxiety or depression meds? You might just need the anti anxiety medication if you're just socially anxious. Stay the hell away from valium though as it's addicting.
You can get it from your family Dr. I take paxil and valium when I need it. I don't take it unless I go out. Paxil isn't addicting. I have not really noticed any negative side effects from taking paxil. That might help you out with your anxiety so that you won't rely on alcohol to much anymore.
