I've been drinking liquor for many years now and not ready to stop it. I am currently taking medicines for my anxiety issues however, my drinking propensity is the same. I have been asking advice from my companions and one of my companion recommended me to take anxiety disorder treatment(http://www.drcohen.ca/services/anxiety-disorders/http://www.drcohen.ca/services/anxiety-disorders/ )from Dr.Eliana Cohen and associates, in Toronto. Any advice about this? Thank you in advance.

As someone who drank heavily for 17 years, and took Xaxax for anxiety for 10 years, I recommend thinking about quitting as both benzos and booze make anxiety worse.i tried everything available to resolve anxiety while still maintaining the life style of drinking and Xanax, and it doesn't work. You're not going to resolve anxiety with self medicating - you have to face anxiety head on and deal with the cause(s). Cognitive behavioral therapy works wonders with anxiety- because of CBT, I am two years sober and live a happy life. It takes both time and work to be effective, but the results are well worth it. Bluelight has a good thread on CBT, I think I'm the mental health forum. If not mental health, then it's under sober living or the dark side.i know this is not what you want to hear, but wanted to share anyway, it may be helpful to you in the future. Good luck!
