I woke up today with such horrible anxiety and felt disoriented and shaky. I went 36 hours without a drink and am realizing these withdrawals are terrible. I had to pour a glass of wine at 2pm just to shake it off. I’m going to talk to my therapist and primary care doc tomorrow. This is scary and I definitely need some professional help.

Please call to talk to your doctor. Alcohol is the most dangerous to come off of and you need medication to assist

Yes. I've always had to have medical attention to stop drinking. It's very dangerous to stop. Maybe go to a hospital, detox, or doctor
Thank you everyone. I’m calling my doctor tomorrow. I feel awful today and I’m scared. I had 4 drinks to keep the anxiety away, but I just feel terrible overall.
Yes definitely call your doctor, you probably need detox with Librium I think it is to battle the withdraw, I know the name but I can’t quite remember if it was Librium or something that sounded similar to it. Alcohol withdraw is one of the only 2 forms of withdraw that can be fatal so be very careful how you approach it. I’ll pray for you.
