It's well know that Alcohol is a depressant and can heighten anxiety as it's effects wear off. This is bad news for people who already suffer with some level of anxiety in their lives. In this episode I talk with The Anxiety Guy, Dennis Simsek. He shares his relationship with alcohol past and present, we explore how alcohol can affect your mental health and we discuss how to form healthier habits through a process of substitution. Dennis has a new book with an epic title - F**k Coping, Start healing which I highly recommend getting your hands on.
