Personally I think avoiding benzos is a good thing. Not only do you avoid a possible addiction, but you get to find out if an antidepressant alone is enough to treat your anxiety issue. Plus, Benzos are CNS depressants and may interfere with the efficacy of drugs like SSRIs in the same way that alcohol may interfere.
