> Sometimes I think I drink because I'm scared to actually succeed with this side stuff, and somehow unconsciously I sabotage myself. On a related note (I only drink socially and rarely), I also feel like I sabotage a lot of my projects. I don't do it by drinking, but by letting them go at the end and switching to another one because I'm certain this one will fail. I also have seen this behavior on other people. I call this "success anxiety", and I don't hear about it often, but I'm certain it's some psychological ocurrence. As a cure, I guess we should be aware that this is happening and push through it, knowing that our brain is working against us.
