I’m on day 4 of no drinking. I have severe anxiety and have had that before drinking. I started using drinking as a crutch to not be so anxious and then noticed if I didn’t drink I was anxious, so it was just a vicious cycle. But I was and still am so anxious about the possibility of withdrawals that I didn’t want to stop. I had stopped drinking for about a week and then my birthday hit and I’ve been drinking nearly everyday since. Which has been about a month. I plan on staying sober for awhile to see if my anxiety improves.

I’ve noticed I can’t sleep, I’m very bored. I’ve been getting hot but not sweaty, it is insanely hot outside by me though so I’m not sure if it’s withdrawals or not. I had a headache yesterday. Other than those things I really can’t tell, I’ve been anxious the entire time and have had a couple panic attacks but that was also my normal before drinking. A lot of the withdrawal symptoms to me just sound like things that happen to me when I’m anxious already, I just can’t tell.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I just am so scared of Dt or seizures.

Hi guys, so I’m hitting 24 hours of no drinking. I’m a really anxious person and I’m super scared about withdrawal symptoms. I don’t think I’ve had any yet but I’m unsure. I’m always anxious and I have a pinched nerve in my back that makes my leg hurt and twitch which makes me anxious about seizures. I had gone 5 days without about a month ago and was fine just nervous the entire time but then my birthday hit and I’ve been drinking since then. I usually get a 4 pack of mini wines and drink those a night and lately white claws on top of that. I’ve been drinking everyday for about a month and before that I was drinking nearly everyday for about a year so I’m just really really scared about seizures and bad tremors and stuff. Any information would be greatly appreciated, I don’t want to be so anxious I just decided it’s not worth it and keep drinking.
