Hi my name is Mike. I've suffered from SA for as long as I can remember but have only had it labeled as such since the middle of 2007. I've seen a few different professionals in the past eight years but haven't been able to alleviate my anxieties. So I use cigarettes and alcohol as well as avoidance as a means of reducing my anxiety. Of course the problem now is that my social life is non-existent and when ever I do anything social I have to at least have a good buzz or there has to be alcohol where i'm going. Needless to say thats a problem in and of itself and could morph my SA into alcoholism and agoraphobia. I do however manage to hold a full time job that pays well, has good benefits and requires little social interaction. I'm here hoping to relate to others, share experiences and make a friend or two.
