Does the Sinclair method have a track record for people who don't drink primarily for pleasure? I find that I already don't typically get a lot of actual pleasure out of drinking; it's mostly a way to help me relax because my baseline anxiety level tends to be pretty high. I don't have the classic "alcoholic" pattern of behavior, but I've done the math and the number definitely needs to go down.

(Please spare me the "ackchyually alcohol makes anxiety worse" spiel. Whatever my problem is, it was there long before I started drinking and has not improved during periods of abstinence.)

Likely. Your body won't get the euphoric rush from alcohol, so I thinik it will prevent it from functioning as anxiety medication. Its works on low hardware level, so to speak, and should nullify any positive effects from alcohol on the psyche.
