i just broke up with my girl of 2 years a little over a month ago. i find myself drinking alot hiting up the bars and tring to move myself forward somehow. i cant be around crowds if im not semi drunk so i guess im self medicating to feel somewhat normal and hoping i will find that next girl.. im still in my mid twentys and am having fun but i know i cant keep this up much longer. i also dont want to be a shut in. i feel stuck in my single drinking ways. if im sober i do not want to go out but i also get lonely fast so the best thing for me is to get drunk feel like i have no anxiety problem what so ever and spend money i dont have its a vicious circle. im just wondering if anyone can relate or has any advice for me??

Stop drinking and stop using drugs/medicines to feel less anxious around people. Then start working on your self towards others when sober. As always, difficult but you'll benefit from it in the end.
