Welcome. If you want to last, please don't ever talk about dabbling in recreational anything again.
Deal?
We are older. Many of us are professionals. So, let's get that word "recreational" out of ur vocabulary while here.
Good luck. Maybe if u read the rules in this welcome area, u would have noted that WE ALLOW ABSOLUTELY NO TALK OF REC USE. NONE, WHATSOEVER.
Start again? Try it our way. (I am tough because I must protect my members, my vendors, myself and this forum. No rec talk, ever again, please.)

It is Well with My Soul

Welcome bry! I too suffer from severe anxiety amongst other things but i too have lost many good opportunities in life due to my condition, and yes i would have to drink many beers before i even went out to feel comfortable enough to just talk to people! Having this condition is not fun but stick to the forums here and soak in as much good advice you can and i believe you will do just fine here. Hope to see you around

Welcome.
My experience here has been short, but I think its safe to say you're among friends.
Sometimes the cons of addiction and WDs outweigh the pros of a happier fuller life. Cycle, if you can, and as always, everything moderation. I have yet to meet anyone here, that is looking to get "high" or to "party." Most are just looking for a coping method to the hand they were dealt or looking to be happier, healthier, more productive members of society. All are sincere.
