According to a recent report by the National Institute of Health (NIH), anxiety is a strong psychological risk factor associated with heavy or problem drinking. Other risk factors include an impulsive personality or a family history of alcohol abuse. When alcohol and anxiety are combined, there are many serious problems that occur.

"For years, I felt like I was a freak or something," said Janice. "My family couldn�t understand what was wrong with me. I knew there was nothing rational about my fears but I thought there was nothing I could do to control them until I started attending the anxiety support group in my city."
For Janice, the support group was a major tuning point. "It�s the best thing I�ve ever done for myself. I wish I had started attending the anxiety support group years ago because I could have spared myself a lot of suffering."
