Hi there,

Well its after midnight so it feels like its the 4th AF day for me. I must say im starting to feel normal again. I went through hell, i never wish anyone to go through what i had. The panic attacks were just cruel.All shakes are gone by now, my palms are still sweaty and there is still little anxiety in me, but its seems going away slowly as well.
Its my first day on antabuse, i went to a pub with a friend, drank water and did not spend a penny I had no desire to drink at all, knowing what it can do to me.

I'm still worry about going to bed tonight, but i think it is just my imagination now, pretty much all the symptoms of withdrawal are gone.

I just want to give little advice to anybody having panic attack, time passes.I think that is what kept me alive, knowing that it will go away eventually.

Love to all of you.

It helps me to remember what I went through in the first few days of withdrawal. Keep that memory fresh. Hang tough!

I just want to add that without people on this forum it would be much, much more difficult. They must be some kind of guarding angels. It is very important to know, that there is someone out there ready to listen to you.

Network, good for you!

And what you say about panic attacks is SO important! It's true for cravings/impulses as well... all of these things are just passing mental/physical phenomena, they arise and they pass away. Giving into them just makes them much worse, and KNOWING and remembering that they DO go away, if given a chance, is enormously helpful. When we are in the middle of them we are tempted to believe that they will just keep getting worse until they literally destroy us... and that is just not true... it's one of the lies that "The Beast" tells us...

Hey network!

I know just how you feel. When I gave up my 2 bottles of wine a night I was having the worst panic attacks. I never had them before. Thanks for the post.

I'm so proud of you! :l
