I went to vegas May 4 and came back on the 10. All through out the duration of my stay there we drank throughout the night and a few times during the day as well. Since I have been home, I have had about 2 drinks a night. (rum and diet) It's been about 2 weeks. I am paranoid that I am withdrawing. All I feel is SUPER anxiety and my fiance thinks I am just psyching myself out. I've never been much of a drinker. Once a month at most. But with the inlaws in town and my fiance's graduation we drank more than usual. Please help. I don't know what to do. I am sick to my stomache that I now have to go through withdrawl. Thanks in advance.

you sound like you're a health-conscious person.  You sent a mild shock to your system that it wasn't used to.  continue taking healthy actions that you would normally do, nothing extreme, and the anxiety will leave.  worrying about it is unhealthy, so get out of your head and go help someone out!  you'll be better in no time

You're probably going through a mild withdrawal.  I've read that 7-10 days of heavy drinking can give you withdrawal, but not the serious type.  Just some anxiety.  This is based on the assumption that you honestly don't drink like this very often though.

Give yourself a break okay?  If you feel anxious, then lay off the caffeine, get a little exercise, and stay hydrated.  By the way "a break" means no alcohol for a little while......your body will thank you.

it would be helpful to know how old u were when u started drinking....and how old u are now....and what your pattern is for exs.how many drinks per episode how many times a week u drink and does it affect ares of your life?

It's probably withdrawl but I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you weren't a heavy drinker before this and you aren't an alcoholic you should be fine. Even a regular hangover is a form of withdrawl so you've probably just shocked your body with a week long drinking binge. Stop the nightly drinking now and you'll feel like crap for a few days or so and then be fine. Drink plenty of water, gatorade, etc. You'll feel better eventually.

But seeing as this is an alcoholic support forum we can't really diagnose you. All we can do is share our own opinions based on our own experiences. If you're really that worried about it you should check with your doctor and maybe he/she has some ideas / advice.
