Seth8a,
Its really interesting what you mention about a small glass of wine or a beer. Alcohol for me has been one of my most anxiety inducing things since injury. I felt a lot better 3 months post injury and then went clubbing, drinking heavily with my friends, and going out on weekends. After about a week or two of that my symptoms came back and have been here to stay ever since.
I wonder now if my anxiety over not having a drink is almost counter productive and if I were just to relax and allow myself to have a little bit after work like a small glass of wine or like half a beer if that would get rid of that anxiety association and would let me just chill out about the whole thing. If you think about the amount of alcohol I am actually intaking with half a beer I can't imagine that the brain is going to be THAT sensitive to such a small amount of alcohol. Especially if I'm not drinking on an empty stomach or really quickly or something like that.
Have any thoughts on that?
