A,
Your analysis and advice are very much appreciated and very much correct.
"FOR NOW" will take a lot of pressure off me.
Since I'm a single guy that hits the bars with friends in order to girl hunt, alcohol seems to be a prerequisite. Can a sober guy pick up girls at a bar? Can a sober guy have fun at a bar, especially for a long time span?The struggle, as you addressed in your second posting, is that social phobia and GAD turns people off. I get very self-conscious about that, and then hence, I'll drink to be one of the crowd.
Today, after a night of drinking, I'm having anxiety attacks, depression and worse social phobia than when I was having at the bar.
You're right. A lot of these issues can be addressed without medication. I'm just wondering if I should just avoid bars and parties. But then I'll become agoraphobic (joke).
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to share some of your wisdom. It helped me a lot.
Pat
