Hello sir/madam. I am very weak, I can't do any work in front of people. If I am single then I can do any work. I have stage fear also. So now I am taking too much alcohol to overcome this problem. If I take alcohol then I can do any work in front of people and reduced my fear. Is it good for me or not, please suggest me what should I do. And I have L4 and L5 disc problem (back pain) also and I don't have any interest of my worst life. Is it any medicine to overcome this fear? Thank you sir/madam.

Dear Vali, You may be having social anxiety disorder. Alcohol will reduce your anxiety temporarily. Later on you may become dependent on alcohol, needing more and more for the same effect. Social anxiety disorder can be treated with drugs and therapy. They don't make you dependent on them. They make you confident by making you face fearful situation repeatedly till u=you get used to them. L4 and L5 disc problem also can be treated with good posture and exercise without alcohol.
