Anxiety after Alcohol

same thing happens to me i hate it :(

Hi, guys first of all let me start off by saying what a great chat this is and what a great feeling to know we arent alone, im 30 yrs old and I dont consider myself an alcoholic but I do know amd admit I havea problem with binge drinking I have a large group of great friends and our favourite time together os setting out on a night of shots and drinks all night sometimes to the wee hours of the morning, as im righting this im currently going through some of the symptoms we all are talking about although im am not questioning my actions last night I have done so several times I would like to share some experiences ans things ive gone through with all these symptoms we are talking about and ways ive learned to cope with them. So lets start with this example I decided I would have a super bowl parry a couple years im canadian so really it was jus an excuse to have verybody at my house and drink I dont even watch football, the night was going great the drinks and high fives where all around until my friends older brother came over who I am friends with but I had a chip on my shoulder from past parties and his attitude towards us being the younger guys at first things where fine but as I conssumed more drinks I started to antagnise him call him out a bit until he finally snapped and staryed dishin it back witch then gave me the opportunity to get mad and go after him long story short big fight then went on with me and my best friend his younger brother needless to say party over and alot of mad friends and it was directed at me.. now could you guys imagine the anxiety the next day knowing everybody blamed me and all my close friends where mad at me god I thought the world was over I first started with a defensive I dont give a sh*t be mad at me you guys dont understand I then went to a blame him stage what about all the sh*t hes done,I had nobody to turn to finally I received a call from a very close friend that I look up to I dropped my stubborn defensive hungover anxiety and admitted to him my feelings and why my anger he understood but still told me u keep this up you will loose your friends and as much asbthat was hard to here it was very true I had to suck it up and make some very personal and face to face apoligies it was hard bur my friends arw great and it worked out and really let my anxiety settle. Now the point of me sharinf this experience is due to a common thing I read with alk of us are most common symptom isbwhat did I do last night !!!! Since that happened to me ive trained my self to mebtally prepare beforw I go out for a big night of drinks I tell myself im happy witch I am and I tell myself other people problems or your problems are not for a party night there is a timw place to deal with that stuff jus be hapoy have your drinks shake hands dont bring up uneeded stuff now easier said then done it really work prepare yourself be happy gget yourself in a good mood think before u drink as cheesy as I sound its true and if your not in the right state of mind dont go take a night off. Having one of these succesful nights you will wake up and say what did I do and you can look in the mirror andbsayi did nothing I had a great night sound weird ? Well its not webget amxiety some people dont when we have a goos night and we are worried about what we did and realize its nothing we need to congrat are selves and say awesome night I felt good I was happy no fifhts arguments etc trust me acknowledging yourself will help with the anxiety Instead of letting the doubt take over. Now that being said its not always that easy but I fi d it helps me personally. As for the other symptoms paranoia it happens to me all the time what I try to do is clear my mind and kaugh at myself cause u are still in control u have to remember that I find sitting on the couch opening a window to a frwsh breeze and having gataorade truly helps me. O could go on forever to tell you the truth I think ive had it all many of times and ive been through a recent breakup and alot of death through the years its been hard but its made me stronger and ive learned to overcome these things even though I still havw them everytime I drink I know theres a reason its thw drinks ans I need to calm down because im in control and this will pass, im currently recli ed in my couch window open googling about anxiety only to find this amazing forum none of are aloneguys we all get this and its great to talk about of anybody wants to reply to this commwnt or ever wants to chat ill keep checking this as im going to bookmark this forum I think its great.
