I just found this site and became a registerd member. I love it! I don't feel so alone now. I have been drinking for many years consistantly. I started out when I was 21 and was excited be be of leagal age to drink. I was an exotic dancer and started drinking every night to calm nerves and get a little buzz to forget reality for a bit. I started at only one margarita before work, then later on mixed drinks, "a few" then I got brave and loved how shots made me feel. By the time I was 27 I would drink before work during and after and sneak shots from my boyfreind. It got really out of control with my ex last year he was a huge drinker and brought home those huge bottles of absoulte. We would do so many shots almost nightly, that in one night more then half the huge bottle the ones with the handles on them, would be half gone or almost gone. I am 28 now and quit dancing a year ago the end of december. I thought it would be easy to quit! no way. That cycle was deadly and stuck with me. I am trying right now to quit and the withdrawls SCARE me. I feel feverish and neasous I even threw up today, I get hot and cold and have anxiety. I get anxious weird thoughts usually negative. My breathing feels shallow and I get sleep apnea and feel like I can't breath on and off in the daytime. Is this normal?. I don't crave the liquor but usually start again to stop the symptoms. please let me know what you think. I can't drink like that anymore and don't want to.At least not for a while until I can drink socailly like a normal human being. Thanks for listening.
