Alcohol withdrawal

[Wanderer82]

Hi, first time posting so please bare with me. I'm 33 and have had a problem with alcohol for approx 10 years. The main cause is anxiety which I have tried and tried different meds and counciling, all to no avail. I'm not alcohol dependant but when my anxiety gets too bad I end up drinking over a binge of 3 - 4 days. I am about 48 hours after one of these binges. It started Tuesday evening and ended fri around lunchtime I was just so ill I couldn't drink anymore. I think I'd drank 65 units in that time - all vodka. My work think I'm off due to a sickness bug and I really need to get back tomorrow. I still feel so ill and it's mealy 2 full days since I stopped drinking. Any help and advice would be so great. Thanks for reading.

Yes every time this happens I always think it's the last time. It's the 1st one since January and I genuinly thought I was over coming turning to alcohol. But something goes off in my head and I end up doing
It again. I have tried many meds to conqour anxiety. Also tried counceling cbt ect. But nothing has worked.

I'm getting very paranoid about tomorrow. I won't be over the limet over 60 hours after my last drink will I?

AA has a saying"we got sick and tired of being sick and tired"Guess you're not finished yet with the drinking!It will continue to cost you emotionally,physically,jobwise!The choice is YOURS!

There are only 2  realistic options here...abstaining from alcohol and returning to counseling with someone who can assist you in learning how to manage your anxiety!If you continue as you have been,you may end up losing your job!
