How much did you drink on a daily basis dsr? Have you ever tried quitting before? What I'm getting at is the ... DT's -- as long as you are not at risk for these you need to get through the withdrawal. Anxiety is a normal part of this process -- although normal only when the body is in addiction mode. It takes some time - at least 72 hours to get it OUT of the system. Yes - you would have to start over with the detoxing your body if you drink any alcohol.

Unless you are at risk for the DT's - I recommend you keep on. Tomorrow will be easier. I've been there. The first night I quit drinking I stayed up almost all night because I was afraid to close my eyes. almost 7 months later --- being alcohol free is the most awesome feeling. NO Anxiety.

Love to you

aside from the 3 days sober, i have been drinking about a pint or a little more a night for the last 3 weeks. before that, beer every night sometimes with vodka - enough to get pretty drunk. this has been going on for like 5 years with breaks here and there. ive quit for a week several times and taken nights off, but i have never felt this anxious. im 27 years old and have had my vitals such as my blood pressure, blood sugar and my heart checked recently and there all fine. its just so hard this time, never

its weird because the anxiety goes completly away for a while and then it hits really hard. i feel ok right now, a little cloudy headed, but not anxious.

Hi and Welcome
I was a pretty heavy drinker, and had severe anxiety. I went to the doctor and got some Ativan just to get my through the first few days of withdrawal. I never could have done it without the Ativan. Do you have a doctor that you could see? I don't know about you, but I could Never have just one or two beers. That would turn into 12 easily. I am almost 3 weeks alcohol free and barely have any anxiety. I am normally a bit anxious, but it is nothing that I can't handle. I look forward to reading your posts. Let me know if I can be of help. You Can do this. I first put alcohol down when I was 28, and I didn't start drinking again until I was 39. It is not easy to stop, but is soooo worth it.:welcome:
