Interesting Article about Anxiety and Alcoholism.

I thought this could fit into a bunch of sections on the site... so I put it in WC where I thought the most of us would see it! I hope this goes through. It is an Article from PsychiatryMatters. Which is a great site to join...

Let's see if it will let me link it?

It worked for me when I clicked on it, you have to scroll down a little to get to it.
I really found it interesting due to the high level of addiction in my family and anxiety disorders... I do not have the addiction issues but I do have the Anxiety. I am a firm believer in CBT though.

This just reinforces my belief that 12-step programs will ultimately fail unless the underlying mental illness is treated FIRST.

GCV- I think this I why my Brother is still struggling... He at 41 is just starting therapy... after years of every drug and alcohol. But he is still drinking. Just not *using* DUH!!!
